IN RE:
SB112 by West (Relating to the requirements of an affidavit supporting the installation and use of a mobile tracking device.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to increase the burden of proof, from reasonable suspicion to probable cause to believe, needed to obtain a court order authorizing the installation and use of a mobile tracking device.
Based on information provided by the Office of Court Administration, no significant fiscal impact to the state court system is anticipated as a result from implementing the provisions of the bill.
This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
