What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, when an individual who has been sentenced to prison is held in a county jail while that individual awaits transfer to the prison, the county is responsible for the costs associated with jailing that individual. Also under current law, the Department of Corrections may enter into a contract with a county or a tribe to temporarily house people who are on probation or who are sentenced to prison or the intensive sanctions program at a daily rate of up to $60 per person.
Under this bill, if an individual is held in a county jail, other county facility, or tribal jail for more than 10 days awaiting transfer to a state prison, DOC must reimburse the county or tribe for the cost of jailing the individual at the daily contract rate or $50 per person per day, whichever is greater. Under the bill, a county or tribe may bill DOC for costs incurred beginning on February 1, 2021.
