IN RE:
HB861 by Dale (Relating to the prosecution of the offense of online solicitation of a minor.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code as it relates to the offense of online solicitation of a minor. Under the provisions of the bill, certain definitions of the offense are narrowed and certain circumstances which are not a defense to the offense are eliminated. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies, programs, or workloads.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
