No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code as it relates to certain conduct constituting the criminal offense of aggravated assault. Under the provisions of the bill, the definition in the section outlining penalty enhancements for the criminal offense of aggravated assault would be amended.
The Office of Court Administration and Department of Criminal Justice indicate the modifications outlined in the bill's provisions would not result in a significant fiscal impact. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand of state correctional resources.
