AI Summary

  • Establishes a priority-based allocation system for income earned by furloughed inmates, replacing the previous requirement to satisfy restitution and reimburse the State for room and board.

  • Prioritizes child support orders as the first obligation, to be paid at a rate determined by court order or a specified percentage of net monthly earnings, whichever is less.

  • Allocates 25 percent of net monthly earnings toward restitution, crime victim compensation fees, and other court-ordered fees and fines, in that priority order.

  • Requires reimbursement to the State for room and board costs at a rate established by the director, after child support and restitution obligations are met.

  • Defines "net monthly earnings" as gross income minus applicable federal and state income tax withholdings, with any remaining funds held in an individual account for the inmate; effective July 1, 2013.
