Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 15:824(B)(1)(a), relative to the confinement of inmates; to provide relative to persons committed to the custody of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections who are confined in a parish jail or institution; to increase the amount the Department of Public Safety and Corrections pays for the confinement of persons in parish jails or institutions; to provide relative to the duties of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the amount the Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C) must pay to parish sheriffs or governing authorities for housing state inmates in parish jails. Specifically, the bill increases the daily reimbursement rate from the current amounts to a graduated scale starting at thirty-five dollars per day in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and increasing to forty dollars per day by Fiscal Year 2028-2029. The payment applies to situations where an inmate's confinement in a state institution is delayed or prevented, such as due to court orders, lack of state facilities, or when an inmate is being held pending appeal or participating in a court-ordered substance abuse program. The bill also maintains the requirement that DPS&C work with parish authorities to ensure basic jail guidelines provide for treatment and educational programming for confined individuals. This change aims to provide more adequate compensation to local parishes for housing state inmates and ensure proper support for those inmates while in county facilities.
