Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill creates the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision and an Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision.  It is estimated that the Department of Corrections will incur additional costs of approximately $18,000 annually for association dues.  Costs associated with the transportation of the Department of Corrections staff to required meetings is unknown at this time.  Also, there is a provision in the compact that includes one legislator as a member of the State Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision.  The cost of the per diem and expenses for one legislative member for one meeting is estimated to be $105.  The compact becomes effective and binding upon enactment by no fewer than 35 of the states.  It can not be determined when this will occur.  The cost will depend on when the compact becomes effective and the number of times the commission will meet to conduct its business.
