Housing of municipal prisoners in county jails; revise methods that counties and municipalities use to calculate costs for payments of.

Summary

The bill eliminates the rule that forces counties to charge municipalities a fee tied to the state’s inmate‑housing rate for municipal prisoners held in county jails. Instead, counties and municipalities would be free to negotiate the cost of housing and caring for those prisoners. It also sets a $15‑per‑day cap on feeding costs and creates a jail food allowance account to track payments.
