SUMMARY

 
The Maine Revised Statutes, Title 34-A, section 1210-A
currently provides for a subsidy to counties for the support
of prisoners detained or sentenced to county jails and
maintaining community corrections. This bill changes the
section to reimburse a percentage of the actual costs of those
programs. The percentage would start at 10% beginning July 1,
2005 and increase in annual increments of 5% to a maximum of
30% of actual costs reimbursed.
