FISCAL NOTE

Senate Bill 178 as passed the Senate would allow a parole violator to have his or her term of confinement in a state correctional facility reduced by the amount of time spent in holding in a county jail pending the imposition of the period of confinement. This could decrease obligations of: (1) the Department of Corrections, by an undetermined amount, dependent upon the number of parole violators currently in county jails that would have time spent holding in a county jail, pending the imposition of the period of confinement, count towards the mandatory 45-day period of confinement for a parole violation; and (2) county jails, also by an undetermined amount, dependent upon the number of parole violators that currently spend more than the mandatory 45-day confinement period in the county jail in holding before being transferred to a state facility and the number of parole violators that could spend up to 45 days before being released or transferred to a state facility.
