Small increase in
the incidence of Class C crimes; increases correctional and judicial
costs.

and judicial costs.
The additional workload associated with the minimal number of new cases
filed in the court system does not require additional judicial funding at
this time.

dedicated revenue by minor amounts.

funding. |
