OF CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES

                 
2001 GENERAL SESSION

                 
STATE OF UTAH

                 
Sponsor: Thomas V. Hatch

                  This joint resolution of the Legislature supports Beaver, Cache, Emery, Millard, Sanpete,
                  and Uintah Counties' expansion of their correctional facility capacity by contracting with
                  the Utah Department of Corrections.
                  Be it resolved by the Legislature of the state of Utah:
                      WHEREAS, counties contract with the Department of Corrections to provide prison bed
                  space for state prisoners;
                      WHEREAS, this contracting arrangement has proven beneficial to both the state and
                  counties and saved the taxpayers from the burden of building new state correctional facilities while
                  at the same time assisting counties to meet their own correctional space needs; and
                      WHEREAS, contracting with the Utah Department of Corrections for additional prison bed
                  space would greatly assist the state and Beaver, Cache, Emery, Millard, Sanpete, and Uintah
                  Counties' efforts to have sufficient capacity to house their prison populations:
                      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of the state of Utah supports
                  jail expansion as beneficial to both the state and Beaver, Cache, Emery, Millard, Sanpete, and
                  Uintah Counties.
                      BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Beaver, Cache,
                  Emery, Millard, Sanpete, and Uintah County Commissions and the Utah Department of
                  Corrections.
