A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO REMOVE THE LIMITATION ON FUNDING FOR THE PER DIEM COSTS OF INMATES HOUSED OUT-OF-STATE.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Subsection (c) of Section 21.2 of Chapter 769 of the 1993 Session Laws reads as rewritten:
"(c)	The availability of out-of-state housing funds shall be reduced by (i) the amount needed to fund local confinement costs for offenders held in contempt for probation violations under G.S. 15A-1344(e1); and (ii) the amount required to comply with subsections (a) and (b) of this section.  Notwithstanding the provisions of G.S. 143-23, if the Department of Correction projects that funds will not be sufficient to meet all of its contracts for the out-of-state housing of inmates, the Department may use funds available to meet its contractual obligations."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification, and expires June 30, 1995.
