Emergency Prisoner Feeding Fund.
There is hereby established the Emergency Prisoner Feeding Fund into which there is automatically appropriated five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) each state fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019. The state Comptroller shall transfer moneys from the General Fund to the emergency fund at the beginning of each state fiscal year or as soon as possible thereafter. The emergency fund shall not exceed a total accumulated amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000). The funds may be expended from time to time upon joint application by a county commission and the sheriff of a county in case of an unforeseeable emergency cost overrun that fully depletes the Prisoner Feeding Fund in the county treasury. This application shall be supported by the sworn statements by the chair of the county commission and the sheriff stating the reason for the need for emergency funding and the reason for the unforeseeable cost overrun. The Department of Finance may demand any pertinent financial records prior to disbursing any emergency funding. The department shall determine when a cost overrun qualifies for disbursement of funds. A county commission may not receive from this emergency fund per year more than 80 percent of the actual cost overrun as substantiated by financial records up to a maximum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per year.
