SUMMARY
This amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, replaces the bill. It requires the State Board of Corrections to determine the percentage of the average daily inmate population that came from outside of each county for the previous fiscal year. As long as the percentage of the population from outside the county is 10% or more, the county may include a percentage of the interest associated with corrections debt that is equal to the percentage of inmates from outside that county in its budget submitted to the State Board of Corrections.
The amendment also adds an appropriations and allocations section.
