*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on May 27, 2016
Fiscal
Impact:
Criminal fine/fee/surcharge revenues : Unknown, potentially
significant reduction in criminal penalty collections
statewide (General/Special/Local Funds) to the extent local
agencies continue to issue criminal citations in lieu of
levying administrative penalties upon minors as recently
authorized pursuant to SB 413 (Chapter 765/2015). The
magnitude of the impact on the state and local jurisdictions
would be dependent on various factors including but not
limited to the number of minors who would have been cited for
SB 882 (Hertzberg) Page 1 of

the offense, the number of counties imposing administrative
penalties in lieu of criminal fines, the level of enforcement
by local entities, and the collection efforts in each
jurisdiction.
Criminal justice system : Potentially significant future cost
savings resulting from reduced involvement with the courts,
local law enforcement agencies including county probation
departments, and child welfare services.
Author
Amendments:
Add coauthors.
