SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
HB974 requires the New Mexico Corrections
Department to establish a demonstration, prison-based drug rehabilitation
program for inmates, and authorizes the Department when establishing such a
program to collaborate with a private organization that has expertise in
establishing a prison-based drug rehabilitation program that addresses drug
rehabilitation, education, self-respect, and life skills.
FISCAL
IMPLICATIONS
HB974 does not contain an appropriation in the
bill to pay for this program. The
Department has limited funds for rehabilitation programs and, in order to fund
the new program, would have to 1) move funds from another area of their budget,
2) use current rehabilitation program funding by replacing a current program
with the demonstration program, or 3) seek funding such as federal funding for
such a program.
HB974 relates to HJM80
which requests the New Mexico Corrections Department to seek federal funds to
establish a prison-based drug rehabilitation program.
