IN RE:
HB716 by Delisi (Relating to the punishment for assaults committed against certain sports participants.), As Passed 2nd House
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code by enhancing the punishment of the offense of assault if committed against a person the actor knows is a sports participant. It is assumed that the number of offenders convicted under this statute would not result in a significant impact on the programs and workload of state corrections agencies or on the demand for resources and services of those agencies.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
