| Changes from FY 2010-11 Senate-Passed: |
| 1. Senate Deletions. The House included several sections of current-year language that were omitted from the Senate bill, including, but not limited to: section 207a (privatization project evaluation), section 219 (prisoner telephone fee schedule), section 403a (dashboard tracking system), section 903 (public works fees), and section 916 (electronic law libraries). |
| 2. Definitions. While the House concurred with Senate action in relocating most definitions to section 203, a number of new Senate definitions were either revised or removed altogether. The House bill does not include the Senate's definition of "cost per prisoner" and it retains fund-source definitions that have been used in previous fiscal years (Sec. 203). |
| 3. Health Care Compensation Rates. The House included new language directing the Department to work with the Civil Service Commission and the Department of Civil Service to review the compensation rates for health care professionals who provide direct health care services to prisoners and provide the legislature with a report on findings and recommendations (Sec. 204a). |
| 4. County Jail Reimbursement Program. The Senate-passed budget included CJRP language identical to what had been in place during fiscal year 2008-09. The House-passed bill includes new CJRP language that includes a 3-tiered reimbursement schedule in place of a universal per diem (Sec. 414). |
| 5. Recycling Programs. The House included new language dictating that the MDOC allocate $500,000 to one or more non-profit recycling programs whose employee ranks include at least 45% returning citizens. This language was not included in the Senate-passed bill (Sec. 426). |
| 6. Mental Health Awareness Training. The House expands upon a current requirement that all custody staff participate in some form of mental health awareness training. Under this new language, all staff employed within a corrections facility would be required to attend at least one mental health awareness training session (Sec. 505). |
| 7. Interdepartmental Grants. The House concurred with the Senate in providing a new IDG to the judiciary for expenses related to drug treatment courts. However, the House did not concur with new IDGs to the Department of State Police, the Auditor General, and the Legislative Corrections Ombudsman that were included in the Senate bill (Sec. 506, 507, 508, 509). |
| 8. Mental Health RFP. The Senate-passed bill included new language directing the Department to prepare and release a request-for-proposal (RFP) for all mental health services provided to prisoners in MDOC facilities. The House did not include this language (Sec. 803). |
| 9. Health Care Quality Assurance Unit. The House included new language dictating that the relevant budget authorization, along with personnel and health care oversight responsibilities, of the quality assurance unit be transferred to the Office of the Legislative Corrections Ombudsman. This language replaced new Senate language that called for MDOC to monitor drug utilization by the Michigan corrections system and corrections systems in other states (Sec. 813). |
