What’s in it

This bill relates to fees charged to a prisoner in the custody of a county sheriff or municipality for administrative costs, room and board, and medical aid. Current law provides that the county sheriff, or a municipality operating a temporary municipal holding facility or jail, may charge a prisoner who is years of age or older and who has been convicted of a criminal offense or sentenced for contempt of court for violation of a domestic abuse order for the actual administrative costs relating to the arrest and booking of that prisoner, for room and board provided to the prisoner while in the custody of the county sheriff or municipality and for any medical aid provided to the prisoner.
