Bill > A4300

Introduced Session

This bill imposes a tax on the gross receipts derived from the operation of private carceral facilities within the State. Specifically, the bill requires any individual or business entity that operates a private carceral facility to pay a tax equal to 50 percent of the taxpayer's gross receipts derived from the operation of a private carceral facility during the previous year. For the bill's purposes, "gross receipts" means all monies received by a taxpayer pursuant to any contract with a public entity relating to the operation of a private carceral facility. "Private carceral facility" is defined as a privately owned facility that is located in the State, houses or detains individuals for violations of State or federal law, and is operated pursuant to a contract with a public entity. The bill also establishes the "Immigrant Protection Fund" as a nonlapsing, revolving fund and requires all revenues generated from the tax imposed under the bill to be deposited by the State Treasurer into the fund. Any monies deposited into the fund are required to be annually appropriated exclusively to support the provision of immigration-related services in the State.
