N/A
Fiscal Analysis
The bill would remove a prohibition against state support, after
September 1, 1999, of the operating costs of certain secure
post-adjudication residential facilities for juveniles. The state has
provided 75 percent of the construction costs for the facilities through
general obligation bond proceeds appropriated by the 74th Legislature
(1995). The bill would permit the appropriation of funds to provide up
to 25 percent of the operating costs of those facilities.
Methodology
The bill would permit the appropriation of funds for 19 secure juvenile
facilities. Four of the facilities, construction of which will be
completed during fiscal years 2000 and 2001, will require funding for
less than two full years.
During fiscal year 2000, 25 percent of the operating costs of 15
facilities for the full year and of three facilities for part of the
year will equal $7,514,362. During fiscal year 2001, 25 percent of the
operating costs of 18 facilities for the full year and of one facility
for part of the year will equal $8,409,987. The cost beginning with FY
2002, is estimated at $21.25 per bed per day X 1114 beds X 365 beds.
Local Government Impact
The above costs would be borne by the counties operating the post
adjudication facilities if the state does not provide 25 percent of the
operating costs.
