FISCAL NOTE (Illinois State Police) If HB 2485 were to become law, there would be no fiscal impact to the Illinois State Police. CORRECTIONS NOTE (Department of Corrections) There are no data to objectively estimate the impact of this legislation, but it is expected to be minimal. Each person sentenced to a Class 4 felony would serve seven months in pri- son at a cost of $11,400, and any Class 3 admission would serve twelve months in prison at a cost of $19,543. Each admission would require the construction of one additional prison bed at a cost of $43,864.
