HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 72
(By Delegates Smirl and Caputo)
[Introduced March 3, 2004; referred to the
Committee on Rules.]
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to conduct
a study to determine the ability and feasibility of the
sheriff's department to supervise home incarceration of
convicted offenders.
Whereas, Currently, the county commission with approval of the
circuit court employs a person, subject to supervision of the
sheriff, as a home incarceration supervisor to administer the
program and supervise offenders; and
Whereas, Providing for the sheriff's department to employ a
person as a home incarceration supervisor with consent of the
county commission and the approval of the circuit court may have a
closer nexus and be more beneficial by allowing the program to
operate more efficiently, effectively and inexpensively; and
Whereas,
The supervisory authority of the sheriff's department
would include the proper monitoring and supervision of offenders on
home incarceration, the establishment of policies related to the
daily operation, the evaluation of the work performance of all home
incarceration supervisors and all other authority for the proper
and orderly administration of the program within the county; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to conduct a study to determine the ability and
feasibility of the sheriff's department to supervise home
incarceration of convicted offenders
; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2005, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
