IN RE:
HB1388 by Leibowitz (Relating to the punishment of the offense of assault committed by a person against the person's family or household members.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code by specifying the conditions that must be met to elevate the punishment for the offense of assault to a felony of the third degree. 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 for the first five years following passage.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
