SPONSOR:  Mayer (Cooper, 158)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Corrections and Public Institutions by a vote of 8 to 0.

This substitute transfers the responsibility for certain payments

County sheriffs are required to file claims for services provided
to certain offenders with the Department of Corrections, and the
Missouri State Council on the Arts within the Department of
Economic Development is required to distribute grants to public
television stations.

The substitute requires single county circuit juvenile courts to
file copies of their budget with the Office of the State Courts
Administrator, and requires the Department of Corrections to
review and receive documentation regarding the payment for
incarceration of prisoners as well as receive certain
documentation regarding criminal court costs and fees.

The substitute contains an emergency clause.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.

through appropriations.  The bill simply puts the transfers into
statute.

Testifying for the bill were Senator Mayer; and Office of
Administration.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
