FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3176 by Wu (Relating to the creation of a youthful offender pilot court program.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
It is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
Local Government Impact
Counties that choose to create and implement a diversion program may incur costs related to the development, implementation and reporting requirements, however, according to the Office of Court Administration's analysis, these costs maybe offset by savings realized by diverting youthful offenders from the system.
