DPS states a 5,625 square foot building would need to be rented to accommodate the bill's evidence storage requirement. This analysis assumes a cost of $174,319 per year for this purpose. DPS also states they would need two additional employees (Crime Lab Evidence Techs) to handle the receipt, storage, and return or disposal of the evidence, record keeping, and inventory of county evidence.
The technology costs for fiscal years 2010-2014 include computers, printers, and enterprise agreements for the employees.
