Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1698	Senate Author:  Williams
Effective:  9-1-11	House Sponsor:  Callegari

            Current law requires each county to submit a monthly report to the Commission on Jail Standards that includes, among other information, the number of prisoners confined in the county jail, classified on the basis of a specified list of categories.  Senate Bill 1698 amends the Government Code to add to the list of categories prisoners for whom an immigration detainer has been issued by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and to require the report to include the total cost to the county during the preceding month of housing such prisoners.  The bill also removes from the list of categories prisoners who are known to be pregnant.
