Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS16179C1

This is a supplemental appropriation to the Department of Correction for fiscal year 2006. The bill appropriates $9,078,900 from the General Fund and $500,600 from dedicated funds for a total of $9,579,500. The bill also authorizes the addition of seven full-time equivalent positions for fiscal year 2006.

.

&nbsp

Fiscal Note

The supplemental appropriations in this bill include $7,834,600 for covering costs associated with an increase in the number of offenders who are either housed in county jails or out-of -state, due to insufficient bed capacity at the state’s correctional facilities; $609,500 for covering a new medical contract with Correctional Medical Services; $475,100 for the various institutions to cover increased utility, fuel, and construction costs; $354,300 for funding additional cot and bed capacity at the North Idaho Correctional Institution in Cottonwood and in St. Anthony; $156,000 for paying plaintiff’s attorney fees as ordered in the Walter D. Balla, et. Al. vs. Idaho Board of Corrections, whereby the federal court ruled against the state on lifting a cap imposed by the court on the number of inmates that could be housed at the Idaho State Correctional Institution; and, $150,000 for the Commission for Pardons and Parole to help meet the increasing costs of the commission and to hire an outside consultant/contractor to modify the Correctional Integrated System (CIS) to handle inmate tracking.

Of the additional seven full-time equivalent positions authorized, five staff have been added at St. Anthony to provide security, work project supervision, and food services; and two have been added to deal with out-of-state placements. These two positions include one Grants/Contracts Officer and one Probation & Parole Officer.
