BILL NUMBER:S1633 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the county law and the correction law, in relation to allowing two or more counties to enter into a contract for the provision of a county jail PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To provide that counties may share a jail instead of having separate jails in each county. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1:Amends section 217 of the County Law to add the exception created by section 500-p of the Correction Law, to the requirement that each county continue to maintain its own county jail. Section 2:Amends the Correction Law by addition a new section 500-p which provides that counties may share in the construction, maintenance, bonding and long term financing associated with a county jail. Section 3:Effective date. JUSTIFICATION:
The Commissioner of the State Commission on Correction refuses to allow counties to share the construction, maintenance and financing of jails. In fact, when approached by Sullivan County officials about the concept of developing a regional jail with one of the adjoining counties, replied: "New York has regions; they're called counties." - source: Times Herald Record, February 10, 2010. The answer of a State agency Commissioner when approached about the concept of a sincere regional cost sharing concept was to dismiss it out of hand. That type of attitude shows a disregard for taxpayers. There is no reason why counties should not be able to share in the cost of the construction and maintenance and long term financing of a jail. Sharing services at the local level makes sense whenever possible. Taxpayers are stretched to the brink and New York State government needs to change to meet the needs of the taxpayer, rather than continuing to insist that taxpayers change to meet the needs of the State. This common sense measure will help make that change possible.
