MODERATE
The bill was amended to increase the total fee for prostitution offender programs from $300 to $500. The change restructured how these funds are distributed, adding a new allocation of $200 to the county general fund to cover program expenses, while maintaining existing allocations to the state and law enforcement agencies.
Scope change
The scope of funding distribution was expanded to include a direct allocation to county auditors for county-operated programs.
FISCAL
The required fee for the prostitution offender program was increased from $300 to $500.
A new provision was added to allocate $200 of the fee to the county auditor for deposit in the county general fund to defray program expenses.
The previous separate section establishing a distinct $200 county fee was removed and consolidated into the main fee structure.
TECHNICAL
The bill title and reprinted dates were updated to reflect the latest version of the legislation.
