Honorable Dustin Burrows, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB3073 by Howard (Relating to the prosecution of the offense of sexual assault.), As Passed 2nd House
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend certain conduct constituting the offense of sexual assault to establish that an act of sexual assault is without a person's consent if the actor knows that the other person is intoxicated or impaired by any substance to the extent that the other person is incapable of consenting.
While it is assumed that any state revenue impact would not be significant, it would be dependent on the number of offenses committed and the associated court costs.
Local Government Impact
It is assumed that any fiscal impact to units of local government associated with enforcement, prosecution, supervision, or confinement would not be significant.
