SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Local correctional facilities; fees; report. Eliminates or caps certain fees charged to inmates in local correctional facilities and repeals provisions that allow a sheriff or jail superintendent to establish a deferred or installment payment agreement or contract with a collections agency when an inmate is unable to pay fees owed to the local correctional facility. The bill establishes the manner in which the balance of all accounts maintained for an inmate's use must be transferred to the inmate upon release. The bill directs the State Board of Local and Regional Jails to create a work group to study implementation of the provisions of the bill and report to the General Assembly by October 1, 2023. The remainder of the bill has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2024.
