Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1031 by Hall (relating to studies or surveys on children's sexual behavior conducted at or by a public primary or secondary school or by a public or private institution of higher education or another person; creating criminal offenses; imposing civil penalties.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
The bill would create state jail felony offenses relating to a person conducting or permitting a third party to conduct a study or survey on a child's sexual behavior.
Creating a new criminal offense may result in additional demands upon state and local correctional resources due to a possible increase in the number of individuals placed under supervision in the community or sentenced to a term of confinement.
It is assumed that any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant.
