Explanation
(This amendment provides $125,000 from the general fund the first year for deposit into the Corrections Special Reserve Fund. The intent of this amendment is to reflect the net increase in annual operating costs for the highest number of state prison beds required over the next ten years which would result from passage of Senate Bills 738 and 739, concerning arson of church property and burglary of churches.)
