Modifying the reimbursement rates for services related to institutions.

SB 5276 modifies how Washington counties are reimbursed for criminal justice costs linked to crimes committed by people in state-run institutions. It creates an "institutional impact account" to fund reimbursements for law enforcement, prosecutorial, judicial, and jail costs directly tied to offenders in facilities managed by the Secretary of Children, Youth, and Families or Secretary of Corrections. Reimbursement rates are set using each county's average hourly costs (for law enforcement/prosecution/judicial) or daily bed rates (for jail) from the previous fiscal year. The bill requires both agencies to update their rules to implement these new rate calculations and reimbursement procedures.
