Corrections: jails; reimbursement cost of holding an individual in county jail; modify. Amends sec. 4 of 1978 PA 16 (MCL 800.454).

This bill modifies the rules for reimbursing Michigan counties when they hold escaped state prisoners awaiting disposition. It requires the Department of Corrections to pay counties up to $35 per day for the actual and reasonable costs of holding these individuals, but it excludes cases where prisoners are held for new felony charges. Counties must submit monthly itemized cost reports to the state department, which will then review and approve the payments based on its own determination of reasonableness.
