PART SSS

Sec. SSS-1. 34-A MRSA §1210-B, sub-§3,  as enacted by PL 2007, c. 377, §12 and affected by §17, is amended to read:

3. Distribution.   Beginning July 1, 2008 and annually thereafter, the department shall distribute to the counties amounts to be dedicated to the Community Corrections Fund under subsection 1 and to the County Jail Prisoner Support Fund under subsection 2. The department shall may distribute amounts to each county based on each county's percentage of statewide jail inmate days, which must be calculated for the last fiscal year for which data is available. If a county's percentage results in a lower subsidy than it received pursuant to former section 1210-A, that county may not receive a reduction. If the county's percentage results in a subsidy higher than it received pursuant to former section 1210-A, that county must receive an increase in funding in proportion to available funding to move the entire county jail system toward greater equity.

Sec. SSS-2. Transfers and adjustments to position count. The Commissioner of Corrections shall review the current organizational structure to improve organizational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the State Budget Officer shall transfer position counts and available balances by financial order upon approval of the Governor in order to achieve the purposes of this section. These transfers are considered adjustments to authorized position count, appropriations and allocations in fiscal year 2007-08 and fiscal year 2008-09. The State Budget Officer shall provide the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over appropriations and financial affairs a report of the transferred amounts no later than January 15, 2009.
