PROVIDE FOR FUNDING FOR THE EXPANSION, IMPROVEMENT, OR CONSTRUCTION OF STATE AND COUNTY CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES; AND TO ADDRESS PRISON OVERCROWDING.

Senate Bill 566 proposed to transfer $250 million from the General Revenue Allotment Reserve Fund to the Department of Corrections. These funds were intended to address prison overcrowding by supporting the construction and expansion of new and existing state correctional facilities, including a facility designated for mental health. The bill also allocated grants to counties. These grants were for construction-related costs for new or expanded county jails, improvements to existing jails, and principal payments on county jail debt.
