relative to responsibility for the custody or control of persons ordered to a county correctional facility.

HB 1510 clarifies that county departments of corrections, not law enforcement agencies, are solely responsible for the custody and control of individuals ordered to a county correctional facility. This applies from the moment a court orders confinement, including during transport to the facility or for unforeseen circumstances. The bill removes ambiguity by stating no other agency or officer may manage custody beyond delivering the person to the facility. While the fiscal note indicates potential significant costs for counties (e.g., overtime or healthcare during transport), the exact financial impact is described as "indeterminable" by the New Hampshire Association of Counties.
