The Commission on Jail Standards does not anticipate any significant fiscal impact to the agency or the state as a result of the provisions of the bill. Local Government Impact Because the provisions of the bill would not affect contracts between a county and a private vendor operating a correctional facility executed prior to the effective date of the bill, there would be no fiscal implications to counties contracting with a private vendor.
