Relating to per diem jail costs

HB 4341 limits county financial responsibility for housing felony inmates awaiting evaluation. It specifies that counties must pay per diem costs for inmates held pre-conviction while awaiting transportation to a state facility for a 60-day evaluation, but only for the first 30 days of incarceration. This directly affects counties and the state Division of Corrections, as it caps their payment obligation for this specific group. The bill amends existing law to replace open-ended county liability with a fixed 30-day period for these inmates.
