Explanation of Local Expenditures: (Revised) Prosecutor Review Board: The bill establishes the
prosecutor review board to investigate allegations of a noncompliant prosecuting attorney. The board of
directors of IPAC shall appoint five members to the review board. Each member serves a four year term and
may be reappointed to additional terms. Members are not entitled to reimbursement from the state for
traveling expenses or other expenses incurred in connection with the members’ duties. The board shall issue
a report to the IPAC and the alleged noncompliant prosecuting attorney. These new requirements for the
IPAC should be able to be implemented with existing resources.
Any additional expenditures for the appointing county will depend on the decisions of the prosecutor review
board, the appointed judge, and the appointed special prosecutor. Payments to the special prosecutor would
come from the county in which the noncompliant prosecutor serves. If good cause is shown, the appointing
judge may increase the scope of the special prosecutor's duties, establish a longer term for the special
prosecutor, or appoint more special prosecutors to assist the special prosecuting attorney. The judge may
require the special prosecuting attorney to submit periodic reports.
