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 S00061 amends the executive law to establish a reimbursement rate for local governments housing certain individuals, including those on parole or under post-release supervision, in jails or penitentiaries. Specifically, it mandates that the state will reimburse cities or counties for the actual per day per capita cost of care for these individuals, as certified by local officials and approved by the state budget director. This provision aims to alleviate the financial burden on local governments that accommodate individuals who are not detained under formal legal processes.
Impact
The bill will impact state laws by introducing a financial obligation for the state to reimburse local governments for housing certain individuals. This change is significant as it formalizes the state's responsibility towards the costs incurred by local facilities, potentially leading to changes in budgeting and resource allocation at both state and local levels. It may also influence how local governments manage their jail populations and the types of individuals they choose to house.
Sentiment
The sentiment surrounding Bill S00061 appears to be neutral, as there have been no recorded votes or significant committee discussions available at this time. However, the bill's intent to provide financial support to local governments may garner support from municipal leaders who are concerned about the costs associated with housing individuals not formally charged with crimes.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention reported in the discussions or voting history for this bill. However, potential concerns could arise from local governments regarding the adequacy of reimbursement rates or the criteria for certification of costs, which may be points of discussion as the bill progresses through the legislative process.
