ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator, Department of Corrections, and Department of Social Services assume this proposal will not fiscally affect their agencies.
Oversight assumes that the local government funds could be fiscally impacted by this proposal. The proposal could cause an increase in the number of persons detained in local jails or other detention facilities awaiting a hearing as required by the proposal. These local jail costs cannot be reasonably estimated due to factors affecting the time frames of the hearings and the sentences handed down by the various courts in the state. Oversight does not expect the incarceration costs to local governments to exceed $100,000 in any given fiscal year.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal authorizes the Director of the Division of Youth Services or his designee to issue an arrest warrant for an offender who: 1) has violated the terms of his suspended sentence; 2) has committed a new offense; 3) is deemed by the Director to be beyond the scope of the treatment program; or 4) has escaped or run away from the facility.
The arrest warrant is deemed sufficient to allow an official in charge of a jail or other detention facility to detain the offender pending a hearing on the matter.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
