This bill mandates that costs incurred by an arresting agency or the Department of Corrections for services provided by the operator of a detention center must be based on actual costs. It aims to ensure that financial responsibilities are accurately reflected and that agencies are not overcharged for detention services.

To implement this change, the bill amends Section 7-32-2242 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to include specific definitions related to these costs. The bill also establishes an effective date for the new provisions, ensuring that the changes are promptly enacted.
