HB366 Summary

• Authorizes Chilton County Commission to expend both principal and interest from a trust account established under Act 96-631 (1996) for county jail maintenance and repair, rather than limiting use to interest only.

• Permits the county to appropriate up to $400,000 from the trust account in the first fiscal year after the act's effective date, with amounts carried over year to year.

• Allows appropriations of up to $100,000 per fiscal year in subsequent years for jail maintenance and repair until the trust account funds are exhausted.

• Amends Section 8 of Act 96-631 to clarify that the trust account funds may be used for maintenance and repair of the county jail with the specified appropriation limits.

• Becomes effective immediately upon passage and Governor approval.
