2011 Senate Bill 173 ↩

Senate Roll Call 248: Passed

The final House-Senate conference report for the 2011-2012 Department of Corrections budget. This would appropriate $1.936 billion in gross spending, compared to $2.007 billion the previous year. The reduction reflects fewer prisoners and plans to close some prisons. The budget authorizes privatizing one small “boot camp” style alternative incarceration facility, but no regular prisons.
