Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
In 2009 the legislature passed SB280 which gave Correctional Industries the ability to enter into contracts with private employers to manufacture products which is referred to as the PIE (prison industry enhancement) program. By adding the new language suggested in SB 91, this will allow Correctional Industries to directly purchase worker’s comp coverage for inmates rather than having the private employer too. One of the most important factors is that Correctional Industries is a special revenue fund, receives no appropriated money and is completely self-sufficient so this will not cost the State of West Virginia any funding.
