Explanation
(This amendment provides 134.0 FTE positions the second year to enable the Department of Correctional Education to open schools at new state-operated adult and juvenile correctional centers, and provide educational programs at detention centers. This amendment also requires a study before any funds are expended for privatizing educational services at facilities which are not expected to open until the next biennium.)
