Senate Bill 1229 (S-1) would take effect 90 days after its enactment. The bill is tie-barred House Bill 5887 (which would prohibit certain conduct within 500 feet of a funeral, memorial service, viewing of a deceased person, funeral procession, or burial); Senate Bill 1171 (which would prescribe penalties for the offense); and House Bill 5888 (which would include a first offense in the sentencing guidelines).

FISCAL IMPACT
The bills would have an indeterminate fiscal impact on State and local government. There are no data to indicate how many offenders would be convicted of the proposed offense. An offender convicted of the Class G offense under the bill would receive a sentencing guidelines minimum sentence range of 0-3 months to 7-23 months. An offender convicted of the Class F offense under the bill would receive a sentencing guidelines minimum sentence range of 0-3 months to 17-30 months. Local governments would incur the costs of incarceration in local facilities, which vary by county. The State would incur the cost of felony probation at an annual average cost of $2,000, as well as the cost of incarceration in a State facility at an average annual cost of $30,000.
