Joint Budget. Anything else madam secretary. It's not in the morning hour has expired we will now start business agenda. S. Meeks seventy two. Senate bill seventy two by Senator Hickey to amend the law concerning reimbursement of county costs for holding state inmates probationers and parolees and to declare an emergency. Senator Hickey you're recognized thank you madam governing members this is involves our county jail reimbursement of what this will do is send more money to the county jails on an annual basis just kind of let you know what's been going on. If a give the division of correction receives a sentencing sentencing order after twenty two days which is sent to them by the prosecutor The and they're not paying the county jails until they receive that are the reimbursement does not start at that time what this bill does is required that once a person is sentenced to the Division of correction that that the cruel start at that at that particular point in time that doesn't mean that mean that the division of corrections going to pay them until they receive the correct sentencing order but the a cruel will start so basically you know the county jails have been losing out on you know twenty some days probably of a of what we would pay the state which what we would pay for the state if I remember correctly don't call me that something's like forty dollars a day is what that would do now this came through city county local and of course you know I don't know that we normally do a fiscal impact through there but I did have that run the cost of this is right under four point seven million dollars a year so there is a cost to do this. So I'll try I'll tip to answer any questions. Any questions for. Senate. So how much is the cost of your four point seven million a year. It's four million six hundred and sixty six six hundred and sixty six six hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars per year is what the division of corrections estimated. A state G. R. this story about general revenue there's no. Yes Sir the way that it's actually Senate set up as you know that what somebody sentenced there actually the risk responsibility of the state if they're going to go the Division of correction the way all this is currently set up those monies come out of what's called a county county jail reimbursement account. And that account really doesn't have enough money in because we usually do a supplement only through a see every year anyway. So we put this in the law which I mean I kind of four I think it's a fair thing for counties to so you put this in the law I mean I know everybody's causes special language I mean what we have a shortfall or something like that in general revenue that is coming in I mean I remember the days when we did have that. But Can this not be done without a law okay from the governor. Change that policy without doing it without having to put in the law thing is if you put it in law but then you have to pay it. And if we ever get financial trouble the federal government is that the bail and everything out the densely figure out how to pay for this stuff. Less. So to answer your first question no because we currently have we currently have a statute that dictates the other way so the governor somebody could not do it and that's the reason that I went ahead and did the fiscal impact because whenever we do our essay towards the end that number will have to be inclusive of those cost increases. My thing is everything doing this just increases baseline spending and like I said if the federal government does that in the mailing everything out then. I don't know what this place to do that I mean I understand with the fairness issue to the county try to set those questions thank you Sir. Any other questions Senator Mark Johnson you're recognized. Thank you Mr president Senator Hickey We tended to be a little behind the eight ball as far as reversing the counties in a fair manner to the call for day of housing in may two at that moment it's the state's responsibility is that correct. Well I guess there's varying opinions on it I feel that way and I definitely know the shares in the county still that way so that's what we're doing is basically paying the counties for things we're responsible for and and making sure that we put that in to laws that kind of a good interpretation is perfect for this one because actually once someone is sentenced I mean just have to look at it at that particular point in time if there's if they're sentenced to the Division start to the Division of correction now. That's exactly right they are. I hate to say the ownership of the state but they are the responsibility yes yes Sir thank you senator thank you ma'am. Any other questions for Senator Hickey.
