Fiscal Note - State of Utah - 2011 General Session

HB0153 - County Correctional Facilities Funding Amendments

State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Assuming the final state daily incarceration rate adopted by the Legislature for FY 2011 ($64.29), this bill could cost the Department of Corrections up to $70,000 from the General Fund annually beginning in FY 2012. Should the Legislature adjust the state daily incarceration rate down to remain within existing appropriations, this bill will not materially impact the state budget. If the Legislature were to authorize a rate equal to the average daily cost including treatment ($79.70), this bill could cost the Department of Corrections as much as $123,900 per year from the General Fund.

Local Governments (UCA 36-12-13(2)(c)):
To the extent that county jails contract with the State for incarceration that provides treatment, and assuming the current daily incarceration rate, counties could receive up to $70,000 per year in increased payments. If the Legislature adjusted the state daily incarceration rate down to remain within existing appropriations, this bill would result in a shift of funding from counties that do not provide treatment to those that do provide treatment. At a rate equal to the average daily cost including treatment, counties could receive up to $123,900 per year in additional payments.

Direct Expenditures by Utah Residents and Businesses (UCA 36-12-13(2)(d)):
Enactment of this bill likely will not result in direct, measurable expenditures by Utah residents or businesses.
