Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
There is conflicting current law W.Va. Code § 17-15-4. It is our
understanding the newer legislature supersedes older statutory
language. It decreases the amount of maximum potential good time,
which results in additional days which are billed to the county or
municipality.
The passage of this legislation would do the same thing as W.Va. Code § 17-15-4 and creates several problems. First, the statute will increase incarceration costs by decreasing the amount of work time an inmate can earn. This increase in time served
will result in increased jail overcrowding and finally the bill
offers no immunities to the Regional Jail Authority, or County
Officials for participating.
