To the extent the department has insufficient policies or resources to affect the continued increase in prison commitments among these offender populations, the department shall explore other policy options to allow for program alternatives, including department or OCC funded programs, local level programs, and programs available through private agencies that may be used as prison alternatives for these offenders.

(2) To the extent policies or programs described in subsection (1) are used, developed, or contracted for, the department may request that funds appropriated in part 1 be transferred under section 393(2) of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1393, for their operation.

(3) The department shall continue to utilize parole violator processing guidelines that require parole agents to utilize all available appropriate community-based, nonincarcerative postrelease sanctions and services when appropriate.

(4) By March 1, 2000, the department shall report to the senate and house appropriations subcommittees on corrections, senate and house fiscal agencies, and state budget director on the effect that any recommended policy changes for technical violators of parole and technical violators of probation would have on admission to prison and jail and the impact on other program alternatives.

PRISON INDUSTRIES OPERATIONS


Sec. 401. It is the intent of the legislature to encourage the department to expand prison industries operations by seeking strategic partnerships with private industry.

FIELD OPERATIONS


Sec. 501. The department shall maintain sentencing recommendation guidelines for all probation personnel who are responsible for making sentencing recommendations for convicted felons. The purposes of the guidelines are to establish consistency in the recommendations by probation personnel to the judiciary for nonprison sanctions, provide for logical and fair nonprison sanction recommendations that are effective yet utilize the least restrictive and least expensive options while assuring public safety, and ensure proportionality among sentences and dispositional options. The state established guidelines shall allow for the use of all sanctions and services available to the offender population. For a sentence recommendation in a presentence investigation report under section 14 of chapter XI of the code of criminal procedure, 1927 PA 175, MCL 771.14, the guidelines shall require probation staff to recommend a sentence other than prison for felons where the maximum sentencing guideline score is 18 months or less or recommend prison sentences only when required by law or when no alternative community sentence will provide public protection, pursuant to OP-BFS 71.01. Sentencing recommendation guidelines shall require probation staff to review all alternatives to prison and recommend nonprison sentences for all nonviolent offenders, excluding sentences for which there is a mandatory prison sentence. If the probation staff departs from these guidelines, reasons for the departure shall be attached to the recommended prison sentence and included with the presentence investigation report.

Sec. 503. (1) It is the intent of the legislature that the funding appropriated in section 107 for parole and probation agents will provide sufficient parole and probation agents to maintain a ratio of 90 workload units per agent.

(2) From the funds appropriated in part 1, the department shall conduct a statewide caseload audit of field agents. The audit shall address public protection issues and assess the ability of the field agents to complete their professional duties. The results of the audit shall be submitted to the senate and house appropriations subcommittees on corrections and the senate and house fiscal agencies by September 30, 2000.

Sec. 504. (1) The $525,400.00 appropriated in part 1 for the community service work program shall be used for salaries and wages and fringe benefit costs of community service coordinators employed by the department to supervise offenders participating in work crew assignments. Funds shall also be used to cover motor transport division rates on state vehicles used to transport offenders to community service work project sites.

(2) The community service work program shall provide adult offenders with community service work of tangible benefit to a community while fulfilling court-ordered community service work sanctions and other postconviction obligations.

(3) As used in this section, "community service work" means work performed by an offender in an unpaid position with a nonprofit or tax supported or government agency for a specified number of hours of work or service within a given time period.

COMMUNITY PLACEMENT PROGRAMS


Sec. 601. (1) All prisoners, probationers, and parolees involved with the electronic tether program shall reimburse the department for the equipment costs and telephone charges associated with their participation in the program. The department may require community service work reimbursement as a means of payment for those able-bodied individuals unable to pay for the cost of the equipment.

(2) Program participant contributions and local community tether program reimbursement for the electronic tether program appropriated in section 108 are related to program expenditures and may be used to offset expenditures for this purpose.

(3) Included in the appropriation in section 108 is adequate funding to implement the community tether program to be administered by the department. The community tether program is intended to provide sentencing judges and county sheriffs in coordination with local community corrections advisory boards access to the state's electronic tether program to reduce prison admissions and improve local jail utilization. The department shall determine the appropriate distribution of the tether units throughout the state based upon locally developed comprehensive corrections plans pursuant to the community corrections act, 1988 PA 511, MCL 791.401 to 791.414. The counties shall reimburse the department according to the following reimbursement schedule:

(a) For the rate of $5.30 per diem, the department will provide counties with the tether equipment, replacement parts, administrative oversight of the equipment's operation, notification of violators, and periodic reports regarding county program participants. Counties are responsible for tether equipment installation and service and apprehension of program violators.

(b) For the rate of $7.50 per diem, the department will provide counties with the tether equipment, replacement parts, administrative oversight of the equipment's operation, notification of program violators, and periodic reports regarding county program participants. In addition, the department will provide staff to install and service the equipment. Counties are responsible for the coordination and apprehension of program violators.

(4) Any county with tether charges outstanding over 60 days shall be considered in violation of the community tether program agreement and lose access to the program.

Sec. 602. Community-placement prisoners and parolees shall reimburse the department for the operational costs of the program.
