What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if a person who commits a crime is placed on probation and

confined in a county jail or is sentenced to a county jail, the county may file a suit

against the person in circuit court to be reimbursed for expenses incurred by the

county for housing the person.

Under this bill, a county that houses a person in a county jail may file a suit

against the person in circuit court to be reimbursed for expenses incurred by the

county for housing the person, regardless of whether the person is sentenced to a

county jail, placed on probation, or sentenced to a state prison.
