Concerning contracts between the United States and county and municipal jails for committing or confining individuals in federal custody.

This bill requires Washington county and municipal jails to have written contracts with the U.S. government before accepting individuals held in federal custody. Jails may temporarily accept federal detainees for 180 days after the law takes effect while securing a contract, but must have one in place for all new admissions afterward. Contracts must include a minimum daily fee based on existing interlocal agreements, and jails may still accept federal detainees without a contract if they determine it serves public safety interests. The bill directly affects local jails that currently hold federal detainees without formal agreements.
