Sponsor: Representative Dunn, LD 25
House Engrossed
Overview
Expands eligibility criteria for what entities qualify for an adult incarceration contract.
History
Under current law, the Joint legislative Budget Committee is responsible for awarding the adult incarceration contracts that are under the aegis of the Department of Corrections. To be considered for a contract, a proposing entity must demonstrate that it: 1) possesses the necessary means to fulfill the contract; 2) is able to meet applicable correctional standards and court orders; and 3) has a history of successfully operating other secure facilities (A.R.S. § 41-1609.01).
Provisions
1. Modifies requirements for an entity to qualify for an adult incarceration contract; if the entity does not have a history of operating a secure facility, it may instead qualify by having personal with a history of the same. (Sec. 1)
2. Designates this legislation with the short title Private Prison Contract Reform Act. (Sec. 2)
3. Makes technical changes. (Sec. 1)
