This bill outlines the intent of the Nebraska Legislature regarding appropriations for the Department of Correctional Services for the fiscal year 2026-27. Specifically, it aims to implement a net reduction of $5.2 million in General Funds allocated to Program 200, Operations, from the McCook Detention Facility.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the Department of Correctional Services is to utilize $5 million of the General Funds for the same fiscal year to support tuition, fees, and other direct costs associated with reentry and reintegration programming for committed offenders. This reflects a focus on enhancing support for offenders transitioning back into society while also managing budgetary constraints within the correctional system.
