IN RE:

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the denial of bail to a person accused of committing certain trafficking or sexual offenses against a child while released on bail for committing a similar offense. The Office of Court Administration (OCA) indicates that no significant fiscal impact to the state court system is anticipated.
Local Government Impact
