SUMMARY
Synopsis
of HTRC Amendment to SB653
The House Transportation and Revenue Committee Amendment to SB653 strikes the Senate Floor amendment #1 which returns the bill to the original form.
Synopsis
of SFl Amendment
The Senate Floor Amendment to SB653 changes the fee charged privately operated prisons for each out-of-state inmate from two dollars per day to three dollars per day, and changes the distribution of the fee so that two-thirds goes to the county where the prison is located, and one-third is distributed to the state general fund.

Issues
Bernalillo,
The revenues collected will be dependent upon
the average number of out-of-state inmates housed in the privately operated
prisons. The county will be paid two
dollars per day and the state one-dollar per day for each out-of-state inmate
house in the privately operated prison.
For every 100 inmates housed for the full year the private prison fee
would be $109.5 of which the county in which the prison is located will receive
$73.0 and the state $36.5.
Synopsis
of Original Bill
SB653 raises the
minimum fee privately operated prisons pay to the county for each out-of-state
inmate from seventy- five cents per inmate per day to two dollars per day per
inmate.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
SB653 raises the minimum fee paid to counties
for out-of-system inmates housed by privately operated prisons from
seventy-five cents per day to two dollars per day per inmate. The increased revenue to the counties with
privately operated facilities is dependant upon the number of out-of-state
inmates housed in each county; that number is indeterminate at this time. For every 100 inmates housed for the full
year the private prison fee would be $73.0.
