To the extent that criminal justice bills that include delayed fiscal impacts are passed by the Legislature, previously one-time budget savings that would have accrued to the Department of Corrections would instead accrue in the Corrections Facility Expansion Restricted Account created in this bill. The estimated amount is $25,000 one-time per year, but will vary with policy choices.

Enactment of this legislation could cost the Department of Government Operations $900 one-time in FY 2026 and $1,900 ongoing from the General Fund to create and manage the new Corrections Facility Expansion Restricted Account. To the extent that criminal justice bills with delayed fiscal impact are passed by the Legislature, any previously one-time General Fund budget offsets would accrue to the Corrections Facility Expansion Restricted Account at an estimated $25,000 annually. The actual cost will vary with policy choices. Also, because the savings from 2026 have already been reallocated, there will be a cost of $25,000 one-time in FY 2026 from the General Fund.
