Under current law, the Department of Corrections must submit a report to the Joint Committee on Finance and to the legislature regarding overtime in state correctional institutions. The report must identify the institution, the amounts and costs of the overtime, and the reason for the overtime. Under current law, the report is a biennial report that DOC must submit on or before January 1 of each odd-numbered year.
