Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB1388 by Parker (Relating to prohibiting the operation of supervised drug consumption sites; creating a criminal offense.), As Introduced
The bill would create a second degree felony offense for operating or making premises available to operate a supervised drug consumption site.
Creating a new criminal offense may result in an increase in 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.
