| Summary |
Joint Budget Committee. The bill requires the executive director
(director) of the department of corrections (department) to report
specified information on inmate population, bed capacity, and vacancy
rates on a monthly basis. The bill also requires the director to report to the
joint budget committee and the office of state planning and budgeting:
•
When opening or closing a facility or relocating more than
20 inmates; and
•
By August 1, 2025, and by each August 1 thereafter,
information on FTEs by facility, location, and subprogram.
The bill requires future budget requests to include worksheets
identifying calculations for FTE and operating expenses and also requires
the department to include a report describing supplemental budget
requests and budget amendments as part of its SMART Act
presentation.
If the director or department fails to provide the information
required, the bill authorizes the joint budget committee to reduce
appropriations for salaries of unclassified department employees.
