"The House Judiciary Committee, in its review of HB 64, An Act                 
Creating the Crime of Stalking, discussed some issues that were not            
clear from the analysis in the fiscal note submitted by the Department         
of Corrections.  The Judiciary Committee respectfully urges the                
Finance Committee to ask the Department to clarify the expected fiscal         
impact of this bill (if any) on both probation and prison costs."
