HB 1459 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT requiring the state police to record and update information relative to the charges of criminal and civil non-support.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Safety and the Administrative Office of the Courts have stated that this bill, as amended by the House, will have no fiscal impact on state, county and local revenue or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Safety stated this bill would allow the state police's designee to record and update the state police computer system for civil non-support warrants. The recording and updating of warrants issued for criminal non-support is currently being done by the county sheriffs, who will most likely be the state police's designee to carry out the provisions of this bill. The language in this legislation is permissive, and the Department has determined that this bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, and local revenue or expenditures.
The Administrative Office of the Courts stated this bill will have no fiscal impact on the Judicial Branch.
