No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would establish a presumption for purposes of capital murder against a peace officer or fireman that an actor knew the person was a peace officer or fireman if the person was wearing a distinctive uniform or badge or made an identification as a peace officer or fireman to the actor. It is assumed that any fiscal impact and any impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources would not be significant.
Local Government Impact
It is assumed that any fiscal impact to units of local government associated with enforcement, prosecution, supervision, or confinement would not be significant.
