Estimated state expenditures of $50,505 in FY 2027, $48,959 in FY 2028, and $50,825 in FY 2029 for a part-time investigative paralegal to manage reporting, though the bill does not provide funding or authorize the position

The Department of Corrections indicates the bill will not impact them as they only incarcerate individuals adjudicated for criminal offenses, not civil immigration violations
