IN RE:	HB3463 by Walle (relating to the prosecution of the offense of theft of service.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted

The bill would provide additional forms of notice demanding payment in cases involving the offense of theft of service.

Expanding the conduct constituting an existing 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.

In fiscal year 2024, there were 1,045 arrests, 29 referrals, 136 placements onto community supervision, 24 individuals admitted into an adult state correctional facility, and no individuals admitted into a juvenile state correctional facility for the offense of theft of service.

It is assumed that any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant.
