OFA Fiscal Note
The amendment makes several technical changes that do not result in a fiscal impact. In addition, the amendment narrows the circumstances in which the court must consider certain factors during sentencing. The amendment also requires the court to indicate the maximum length of incarceration for youthful offenders in certain circumstances. This is not anticipated to result in a fiscal impact as the Judicial Branch and the Department of Correction can collaborate to calculate the information. Finally, the amendment requires the CT Sentencing Commission to study methods of victim notification of parole eligibility and report findings to the General Assembly, which does not result in a fiscal impact.
