Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 311
appropriates $310.0 from the general fund to the
local government division of
the
department of finance and administration for expenditure in fiscal years 2003
and 2004 to defray the county's cost of transporting prisoners from Tierra Amarilla to Santa Fe by the Rio Arriba County Sheriff's
department. Unexpended balance at the
end of fiscal year 2004 shall revert to the general fund. This legislation includes an emergency
clause.
Significant Issues
According
to the Department of Finance and Administration, this legislation assigns
additional responsibilities to LGD-DFA without providing the necessary funds to
adequately carry them out.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of
$310.0 is a recurring expense, since the counties will inevitably continue to encumber
these costs year after year.
