Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Department of the Attorney General has identified the need for a General Fund appropriation of $47,210 in fiscal year 2014-15 for one half-time Assistant Attorney General position to address an anticipated increase in workload from additional warrants and court orders and potential costs to defend State agencies.  No funding is provided in this bill.  The actual increase in workload will depend on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the State and cannot be fully estimated at this time.
