Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment eliminates the $95,040 fiscal year 2004-05 General Fund cost by adding an offsetting deappropriation of $55,040 from the Department of Corrections for reduced overtime requirements and by moving a report date to September 30, 2005, which cut $40,000 out of fiscal year 2004-05.   A future appropriation projected for fiscal year 2006-07 in the committee amendment is also removed as the report requirement is not ongoing.  As amended, the bill still requires a $47,000 appropriation in fiscal year 2005-06 to the Judicial Department to contract for in-depth sentencing analysis and report production.  The amendment also strikes section A-23 and A-24.  These provisions are included in LD 1856.
