2008 Senate Bill 1095 ↩

Senate Roll Call 206: Passed

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008-2009 Department of Corrections budget. This would appropriate $2.052 billion in gross spending, compared to $2.078 billion, which was the FY 2007-2008 amount enrolled in 2007. Of this, $1.978 billion will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2007-2008 amount of $1.996 billion. The budget would be $9 million higher, except that to signal its displeasure with the department’s failure to make required reports to the legislature and to implement a “prisoner re-entry” initiative, this amount was removed from the central administration funding.
