Senate Bill 996 (S-1) would have an indeterminate fiscal impact on State and local government. According to the Department of Corrections Statistical Report, two offenders were convicted of poisoning a food, drink, or well in 1999. By adding poisoning medicine to the crimes, the bill could potentially increase the number of offenders convicted of these crimes. Together with House Bill 5507, the Senate bill also could add to criminal justice costs by distinguishing between injury and serious impairment, adding new crimes for causing property damage and for falsely reporting with a previous conviction, and changing the crime classes for existing crimes to those with a longer maximum term in the minimum sentencing range. Table 2 shows both the current and proposed sentencing ranges for each of the crimes. Local jurisdictions would incur costs for housing offenders sentenced for less than a year at a cost that varies by county from $27 to $65 a day. The State would incur the cost of probation at $4.38 per day as well as the cost of incarceration in a State facility, at an average annual cost of $25,000.
