Establishes new
Class C, Class D and Class E crimes.
The additional workload associated with the minimal number of new cases
filed in the court system does not require additional funding at this time.
The collection of additional fines may increase General Fund or other
dedicated revenue by minor amounts.
The bill creates a Class C crime for unlawful possession of a catalytic
converter or defacing of markings of a catalytic converter if the individual
has a prior conviction of these provisions that is less than 5 years old It
is unclear how many additional individuals will be convicted of a Class C
crime who otherwise would not have been. The current average cost of
incarcerating one individual for a single year is $55,203. |
