No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that the provisions of the bill relating to the weapons proficiency of and the carrying of a handgun by a qualified retired law enforcement officer and firearms training for county jailers could be absorbed using existing resources.
This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions for criminal offenses would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies.
