to court costs assessed for certain offenses to provide funding 
for child safety programs.) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB1553-As Passed 2nd House
         

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government 
is anticipated.

A municipality that chooses to raise court 
costs on violations affected by the bill could increase revenues 
dedicated to child safety programs.
