This bill adds certain Class A, B, and C crimes against minors to the list of actions without limitations on prosecution.  The current average cost of incarcerating one individual for a single year is $55,203.

This bill may increase the number of cases filed in the court system. The additional workload associated with the minimal number of new cases does not require additional funding at this time.
The collection of additional filing fees will increase General Fund revenue by minor amounts and the collection of additional fines will increase General Fund or other dedicated revenue by minor amounts.
