GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL
SB2700
Senator(s) Lawson moved the following LATE FILED amendment:
Section: 04
On Page: 116
Spec App: 629
| EXPLANATION:
The amendment provides $22,604,737 to open 2,224
beds at Blackwater River Correctional Institution.
Funding is transferred from various Department of
Corrections appropriation categories to the Adult
Male Private Prison Operations category to pay the
vendor for costs associated with expenses of inmates
that will no longer be in the care of the Department
of Corrections on November 1, 2010. The amendment
deletes the requirement that DOC close an entire
institution in order to fund the new prison, and
gives the department flexibility in determining how
to acheive the required savings.
