LC 2222 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise reimbursement costs to detention centers holding inmates in state custody

This bill updates how costs are calculated and assigned when state agencies hold individuals in detention centers. It requires the arresting agency, Department of Corrections, or Department of Public Health and Human Services to pay the actual cost of confinement plus an additional 10% fee under specific circumstances. The legislation defines "actual costs" as the higher of a reduced daily rate from a specific facility or a fixed dollar amount per inmate, and it clarifies which government entity is responsible for payment in various situations including probation violations and mental health commitments.
