IN RE:
HB682 by Wu (Relating to the statute of limitations for aggravated assault.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to add aggravated assault to the list of offenses with a statute of limitation of three years. The bill would also make the statute of limitations for aggravated offenses the same as the primary crime if a limitation period has not otherwise been specifically provided. The Office of Court Administration indicates it does not anticipate a significant fiscal impact to the state court system as a consequence of implementing the provisions of the bill. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
