The purpose of this bill is to relieve the burden imposed on counties of incarcerating inmates in regional jails by changing the way that the cost of incarcerating inmates is collected so that it is shared by the state and county and municipality where the alleged criminal act occurs; to reduce the cost of incarceration for less than twenty‑four hours to one‑half the daily per diem charge; and to obligate the state to pay for regional jail operations, including labor and associated expenses. Strike‑throughs indicate language that would be stricken from the present law and underscoring indicates new language that would be added.

Changing the way that the costs of incarcerating inmates in regional jails is collected
