April 21, 2009, Introduced by Reps. Kowall, Rogers, Agema, Marleau, Moss, Green, Lori, Opsommer, Paul Scott, Wayne Schmidt, Crawford, Horn and Haveman and referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

     A bill to amend 1984 PA 118, entitled

 

"The prisoner reimbursement to the county act,"

 

by amending section 3 (MCL 801.83), as amended by 1998 PA 450.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 3. (1) The county may seek reimbursement for any expenses

 

incurred by the county in relation to a charge for which a person

 

was sentenced to a county jail as follows:

 

     (a) From each person who is or was a prisoner, subject to

 

subsection (2), not more than $60.00 $80.00 per day for the

 

expenses of maintaining that prisoner or the actual per diem cost

 

of maintaining that prisoner, whichever is less, for the entire

 

period of time the person was confined in the county jail,

 

including any period of pretrial detention.

 

     (b) To investigate the financial status of the person.

 

     (c) Any other expenses incurred by the county to collect

 

payments under this act.

 

     (2) The state treasurer shall adjust the $80.00 figure

 

specified in subsection (1)(a) by an amount determined by the state

 

treasurer at the end of each calendar year to reflect the

 

cumulative annual percentage change in the consumer price index. As

 

used in this subsection, "consumer price index" means the most

 

comprehensive index of consumer prices available for this state

 

from the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department

 

of labor.

 

     (3) (2) Reimbursement under this act may be ordered as a

 

probation condition entered pursuant to section 3 of chapter XI of

 

the code of criminal procedure, 1927 PA 175, MCL 771.3.

 

     (4) (3) Before seeking any reimbursement under this act, the

 

county shall develop a form to be used for determining the

 

financial status of prisoners. The form shall provide for obtaining

 

the age and marital status of a prisoner, number and ages of

 

children of a prisoner, number and ages of other dependents, type

 

and value of real estate, type and value of personal property, cash

 

and bank accounts, type and value of investments, pensions and

 

annuities, and any other personalty of significant cash value. The

 

county shall use the form when investigating the financial status

 

of prisoners.
