RENAME IONIA CORRECTIONAL FACILITY - S.B. 271: COMMITTEE SUMMARY
sans-serif">Senate Bill 271 (as introduced 3-6-03)
Sponsor: Senator Alan L. Cropsey
Committee: Local, Urban and State Affairs
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Corrections Code to rename the Ionia Maximum Correctional Facility, as the Jack Welborn Correctional Facility.
The renaming would be effective January 1, 2004.
Proposed MCL 791.220d - Legislative Analyst: George Towne
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would create additional costs for the State. According to the Department of Corrections (DOC), changing the name of the Ionia Maximum Correctional Facility would cost approximately $67,500. The costs include changing signs, references in operating procedures, and American Correctional Association standards, and replacing prisoner and staff identification, letterhead, stationary, prisoner guidebooks, envelopes, business cards, post orders, and preprinted forms. Of those costs, $3,600 is for paper products; this cost could be somewhat diminished if the DOC were given enough time to use up existing supplies and plan for the change. The DOC also would have to notify vendors and courts as well as revise Michigan Administrative Information Network (MAIN) profiles, but does not have a cost estimate for these changes.
