Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to certain reimbursement rates
AI Summary
This bill amends the executive law to establish a reimbursement mechanism for local governments when certain individuals are held in county jails, penitentiaries, or city prisons. Specifically, the state will pay the actual per-day per-capita cost to the city or county for housing individuals who are presumptively released, paroled, conditionally released, under post-release supervision, or confined during mental health proceedings, but are not detained due to a criminal complaint, warrant, or court order. The reimbursement rate will be the actual daily cost as certified by the local official and approved by the state budget director. This provision aims to provide financial support to local jurisdictions for the expenses incurred in housing these specific types of individuals, ensuring that counties and cities are compensated for the costs of detention beyond standard criminal justice proceedings.
