Repeal Appropriation Requirement

Joint Budget Committee. Previously, the law required a bill that resulted in a net increase in periods of incarceration to include an appropriation to cover the increased cost of incarceration for 5 years after the bill went into effect. In 2022, the general assembly suspended the requirement for 3 years. The bill repeals the requirement permanently.
