HB 397 Correctional impact statements.
Introduced by: Clifton A. (Chip) Woodrum | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Correctional impact statements. Provides that there will be one fiscal impact statement prepared by the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission for all adult sentencing changes; currently there are two: one prepared by the Commission and one by the Department of Planning and Budget. Juvenile bills will continue to be prepared by the Department of Planning and Budget in conjunction with the Department of Juvenile Justice. The 10-year look forward period of the enacted laws is reduced to six years. If the agency preparing the bill does not have sufficient information to project the offender population impact, the words "Cannot be determined" will be printed on the bill. Effective July 1, 2002, an analysis of the impact on local and regional jails, juvenile detention facilities, and state and local community corrections programs will be required. The bill also provides that the Corrections Special Reserve Fund is to be used only for capital expenses, rather than operating expenses as under current law.
This bill is the recommendation of a joint subcommittee created pursuant to Item 477 D of the 1999 Appropriation Act. The subcommittee's study is available as a legislative document.
