Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to require the state to reimburse a county for inmate costs when a conviction of an inmate results in credit for time served towards any sentence imposed.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the state will reimburse a county for the costs associated with housing an inmate when that inmate's conviction results in credit for time already served towards their sentence. This means if an inmate has already spent a certain amount of time in jail before being convicted, and that time is counted as part of their sentence, the state will cover the county's expenses for holding that inmate.
