| IN RE: |
HB687 by Lozano (Relating to the prosecution and punishment of the offense of smuggling of persons.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Penal Code as it relates to the prosecution and punishment of the offense of smuggling of persons. Under the provisions of the bill, the behaviors that constitute the offense would be expanded.
The Office of Court Administration and the Department of Criminal Justice indicate the modifications outlined in the bill's provisions would not result in a significant fiscal impact. This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill addressing felony sanctions would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
