This bill is
expected to increase Class B and Class C crimes by an undetermined amount
each year. The average daily cost in a
regional jail is $119.96 and the average daily cost in a State prison is
$110.76. It will also increase costs
to the Maine Commission on Indigent Legal Services by converting some first
offense cases into felony cases. The
incremental cost increases average $300 per case. The total amount of General Fund
appropriations required cannot be estimated at this time. |
