The bill modifies
an existing class C crime of violating a protective order to include
instances when the protective order was not issued by a Maine court. 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
an individual for a single year is $55,203. The Department of Corrections has
not indicated the need for additional funding at this time and no funding is
included in the bill. |
