Potential Future Impact - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	While there could be significant cost savings after October 1, 2025 from no longer using the Long Creek Youth Development Center for detention or confinement of juveniles, it will not be known until a report is prepared and implemented where such juveniles will be detained after that date and what future costs will be associated with an alternative to Long Creek and for the use of the facility. Future legislation implementing these decisions will reflect that fiscal impact.
	Additional costs to the Department of Corrections associated with preparing a report can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
