FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

TO:
Honorable Nicole Collier, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB3323 by Murr (Relating to increasing the criminal penalty for the offense of criminal mischief involving impairment or interruption of access to an automated teller machine.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

This bill would amend the Penal Code to create the offense of criminal mischief involving impairment or interruption of access to an automated teller machine.  Under the provisions of the bill, an individual engaging in activity involving impairment or interruption of access to an automated teller machine regardless of monetary damages would be commit an offense.

The Office of Court Administration indicates the modification outlined in the bill's provisions would not result in a significant fiscal impact.  This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
