Currently, counties and a city not within a county are eligible for reimbursement for the actual cost of housing a prisoner, up to $37 per day per prisoner, subject to appropriations, if that prisoner is subsequently convicted of a state offense.
This bill increases that rate to $100 per day per prisoner, but provides that counties and a city not within a county are eligible for the reimbursement of only the post-conviction costs of housing the prisoner.
This bill is similar to HB 1069 (2023).
