Correctional and Judicial Impact Statements
Changes from a Class D crime to a Class C crime the crime of commercial sexual exploitation of a child and
solicitation of a child for commercial sexual exploitation. The current average cost of incarcerating one individual for
a single year is $55,203.
The additional workload associated with the minimal number of new felony cases filed in the court system does not
require additional funding at this time. The collection of additional fines related to those cases where the class of
crime is increased may increase General Fund or other dedicated revenue by minor amounts.
Current biennium cost increase - General Fund
Minor revenue increase - General Fund
Minor revenue increase - Other Special Revenue Funds
