Honorable John T. Smithee, Chair, House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2492 by Bowers (Relating to the period for which a person arrested for certain crimes involving family violence may be held after bond is posted.), 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
There could be an impact on units of local government as a result of the bill's requirement that a person who has been arrested or held without a warrant in the prevention of family violence be held for four hours after bond has been posted if there is probable cause to believe the violence will continue if the person is immediately released.
