About HB-2039

Local correctional facilities; fees; report. Eliminates or caps certain fees charged to inmates in local correctional facilities and repeals provisions that allow a sheriff or jail superintendent to establish a deferred or installment payment agreement or contract with a collections agency when an inmate is unable to pay fees owed to the local correctional facility. The bill establishes the manner in which the balance of all accounts maintained for an inmate's use must be transferred to the inmate upon release.
