Bill Summary
This bill requires civilly committed sexually violent predators to be compensated at the same rate for institutional work as State inmates are compensated for comparable work, including, but not limited to, assignments as kitchen clerks, and bathroom and laundry workers. Currently, civilly committed sexually violent predators are paid at the minimum wage. The bill would require these individuals to be paid the same wage as State inmates for comparable work, which is less than the minimum wage. The bill implements a recommendation made by the State Auditor in a report that covers the period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2014. The State Auditor estimates an approximate annual savings of $1.9 million by eliminating payment of the minimum wage to civilly committed sexually violent predators.
