AN ACT relating to county jails.

Summary

The measure amends the law so jailers can authorize ordinary purchases from the jail budget, as long as they follow the county’s line‑item budget and procurement rules. All payments must be approved by the fiscal court before being made, and the jailer must send time‑sheet reports for jail staff to the county treasurer for payment. This aims to streamline jail spending while keeping fiscal oversight.
