TO:	Honorable Brian Birdwell, Chair, Senate Committee on Border Security
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB2200 by Birdwell (Relating to the creation of a criminal offense for operating or moving an overweight vehicle transporting hazardous materials on a route other than the designated permit route.), As Introduced

The bill would create a second degree felony offense applicable when a person operates or moves an overweight vehicle transporting hazardous materials on a public highway not designated as a route on the vehicle's issued permit.

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.
