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. Based on bills already passed with one-time savings, there could be $1,500,000 deposited in the account in FY 2027, and $1,285,700 deposited in the account in FY 2028, but the exact amounts will vary with policy choices.

The actual cost will vary with policy choices.
