                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Social Services and the Department of
Corrections assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.

Officials of the Office of Administration assume this proposal would not
fiscally impact their agency.  However, they indicated that in times of rapid
prison population growth, this proposal could reduce the state and political
subdivision's options to contract for space and result in the over building
of jail capacity.

jail were already in operation on the effective date of this proposal.

program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
