Staff Analysis of the Legislation

 This legislation requires inmates to pay an annual $25 user fee to make purchases at the commissary. The detention facility may keep $5 to be placed in its operating account to fund inmate services.  The other $20 must go to the governing authority to be placed in a separate account and used for sexual assault centers, rape crisis centers, or human trafficking shelters.  If the governing authority fails to use the money for such purposes, the money will escheat to the state.
