Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2471 by Davis, Sarah (Relating to prohibiting political contributions and political expenditures made by certain persons with public funds; creating a criminal offense.), As Introduced

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Local Government Impact

A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not more than $4,000, confinement in jail for a term not to exceed one year, or both. Costs associated with enforcement, prosecution and confinement could likely be absorbed within existing resources. Revenue gain from fines imposed and collected is not anticipated to have a significant fiscal implication.
