ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Health and the Department of Mental Health assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume the duties of the Women Offender Program are outlined within the proposal. DOC assumes that the duties can be performed by staff who already exist within the Department.
Advisory committee meeting expenses and program-related expense and equipment necessary to provide the various programs would also be necessary, but DOC assumes those costs could be absorbed within existing resources.

DESCRIPTION
The proposed legislation creates the women's offender program within the Department of Corrections. Women offenders under the program will be provided a continuum of supervision strategies and program services for female probationers, prisoners, and parolees.
The proposal also establishes an advisory committee of women's programs. This committee will address the needs of women in the criminal justice system.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. The proposal would not affect Total State Revenue.
