RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 391 (SB 153) 2023 Regular Session Womack
New law creates the Correctional Facility Capital Outlay Fund within the state treasury for
capital outlay and major repairs at correctional facilities.
New law requires the treasurer to deposit sales tax proceeds remitted to the state by the
Department of Corrections from the sale of arts and crafts items produced by inmates at
correctional facilities owned and administered by the state after compliance with the
requirements of the existing constitution, relative to the Bond Security and Redemption
Fund, and after a sufficient amount is allocated from that fund to pay all of the obligations
of the state within any fiscal year. Provides that unexpended and unencumbered monies in
the fund at the end of the fiscal year remain in the fund.
New law requires monies in the fund to be appropriated for capital outlay and major repairs
at each correctional facility in proportion to the sales tax proceeds remitted pursuant to new
law by each facility.
Effective June 14, 2023.
