In the case of such transfers there is authorized to be paid to the localities an amount not to exceed $14.00 per state felon prisoner day in the first year and $14.00 per state felon prisoner day in the second year, which shall be in addition to any such amounts otherwise authorized by this act. Any such funds received by the localities as a result of this provision shall be used for the maintenance and operation of the local facility.
2. This funding may be used to cover private prison bed contractual costs if there is no need to house additional state felons in local facilities.
