Under current law, the salary schedule for a county sheriff shall be set as a base schedule according to law and the salary commission may increase the compensation of a county sheriff up to $6,000 greater than the salary schedule. This act repeals the provisions relating to the salary schedule for county sheriffs.
Additionally, this act repeals the provision that the salary commission of any third class county may amend the base schedules of county officials to include certain assessed valuation factors.
This provision has a delayed effective date.
This provision is identical to a provision in the truly agreed to and finally passed CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 53 & 60 (2021) and CCS/SS/SCS/HCS/HB 271 (2021) and SCS/SB 510 (2021).

This act modifies several provisions relating to the Department of Corrections.

This act also adds that the chairperson of the board shall employ employees as is necessary to carry out duties, serve as the appointing authority over such employees, and provide for appropriate training to members and staff.
This act repeals the provision that the chairperson of the board shall also be the Director of the Division of Probation and Parole. These provisions are substantially similar to SB 862 (2020).

This act provides that the court clerk shall collect $10 as a court cost for service of any summons, writ, subpoena, or other order of the court when any person other than a sheriff is specially appointed to serve in a county that receives funds from the deputy sheriff salary supplementation fund. The State Treasurer shall then deposit the funds into the deputy sheriff salary supplementation fund.
This provision is identical to HB 748 (2021) and SB 776 (2020).

Under current law, the chief administrative officer of a correctional center may operate a canteen or commissary for the use and benefit of the offenders with the approval of the Division Director. Each correctional center keeps revenues received from the canteen or commissary to purchase the goods sold and other operating expenses.
Under this act, the Director of the Department of Corrections must approve the creation and operation of any canteen or commissary. This act also creates the "Inmate Canteen Fund" in the state treasury which shall consist of funds received from the inmate canteens. Any proceeds generated from this fund shall be expended solely for the purpose of improving inmate recreational, religious, educational, and reentry services.
This act repeals the current "Inmate Canteen Fund", which receives the remaining funds from sales of the canteen or commissary. These provisions are identical to SB 128 (2021), SB 864 (2020), and SB 434 (2019) and similar to HCS/HB 303 (2019).
These provisions are identical provision in the truly agreed to and finally passed CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 53 & 60 (2021).

This act also modifies current law relating to the licensure of excursion gambling boats to allow for nonfloating facilities.
These provisions are identical to the truly agreed to and finally passed CCS#2/HCS/SS/SB 26 (2021) and to HB 507 (2021) and SB 506 (2021).
