HCS/HB 1707 - This act allows any county to build a county jail or holding facility outside of the county seat. Currently, only counties of the fourth classification and certain counties of the third classification have such authority. This act contains an emergency clause.
This act is similar to a provision of SS/SCS/HB 1290 (2010) and HCS/SS/SCS/SB 580 (2010).
