Provides that the state shall pay to the city or county operating a facility, including whenever a person confined during proceedings pursuant to article ten of the mental hygiene law has been placed in any county jail or penitentiary, or a city prison operated by a city having a population of one million or more inhabitants, the actual per day per capita cost as certified to the state commissioner of corrections and community supervision by the appropriate local official for the care of such person as approved by the director of the budget.
Summary
Bill A05193 amends the executive law to establish that the state of New York will reimburse cities or counties for the actual per day per capita cost of care for certain individuals placed in their facilities. This includes individuals who are presumptively released, paroled, conditionally released, or under post-release supervision, as well as those confined during proceedings under the mental hygiene law. The reimbursement is contingent upon certification by local officials and approval by the director of the budget.
Impact
The bill impacts state laws by formalizing the reimbursement process for local governments housing individuals under specific legal circumstances. It ensures that local facilities, particularly in cities with populations over one million, are compensated for the costs incurred in caring for these individuals, thereby potentially alleviating financial burdens on local governments.
Sentiment
The general sentiment around Bill A05193 appears to be supportive, as it addresses the financial implications for local governments managing the care of individuals under state supervision. However, the lack of voting history and committee discussions makes it difficult to gauge any opposition or detailed concerns from lawmakers.
Contention
Notable points of contention may arise regarding the adequacy of the reimbursement rates and the administrative burden of certifying costs. Local officials may have differing opinions on whether the proposed reimbursement adequately covers their expenses, while state officials may be concerned about the impact on the state budget.
