Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The WVDCR estimates that this bill would great additional administrative tasks for staff in the billing and collection of County and City jail bills. In addition, we estimate that 5% of billing to the Cities will be unpaid, creating bad debt of $141,703 annually. In order to adequately track City jail days and bill appropriately, we estimate needing an additional 3.5 FTE's at a cost of $147,000 annually. These cost impacts would occur in the Regional Jails special revenue fund and ultimately will reflect in the State Budget Office's calculation of the Regional Jail Per Diem rate (currently calculated at $53.75, but frozen for the counties at $48.25 until July 2021).
