2017-S5894 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5894

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend chapter 573 of the laws of 2011, amending the
correction law relating to the boarding of out of state inmates at
local correctional facilities, in relation to extending the expiration
of the provisions thereof

 PURPOSE :

This bill extends the expiration date to September 1, 2020 to continue
to authorize local correctional facilities to enter into contracts for
the purpose of boarding-in certain inmates from other states' local
correctional facilities.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 amends section 4 of chapter 573 of the laws of 2011,
amending the correction law relating to the boarding of out of state
inmates at local correctional facilities, to extend this act until
September 1, 2020.

Section 2 states that this act shall take effect immediately.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Over the years, many counties have been required to expand the size
and capacity of their jail facilities to accommodate the county's
inmate population. Over time, some of those counties have experienced
decreases in inmates, leaving those larger facilities partially
vacant. To offset the cost of operating these facilities at less than
optimal capacity, many counties house state or federal inmates or
inmates from other counties. In keeping with this practice, counties
should have the option to house inmates from other states.

In 2011, the Senate passed a bill which was signed into law to allow
local correctional facilities to enter into contracts for the purpose
of boarding-in certain inmates from other state's local correctional
facilities. The provisions enacted at that time established a sunset
date. This bill seeks to extend such sunset to September 1, 2020 in
order to provide local correctional facilities the option to continue
to house out of state inmates.

Extending the authority to house these inmates will afford counties
much needed mandate relief in that it would provide more flexibility
to maintain an optimal inmate population to suit the facility's
capacity and minimize loss from overhead costs.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

S.6954/A.9642 of 2014
S.4646-A/A.8238 of 2011

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

No cost to the state. This bill would provide a revenue opportunity to
counties.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
