What's happening
This bill requires transferring parole detainees after ten business days or reimbursing counties for eligible detention.
Why it matters
Local jail deadline. Outside cities with at least one million residents, covered detainees would face transfer after ten business days. Courts could authorize extensions of up to twenty days each.
State responsibility. The state corrections department would bear transfer costs and responsibilities. Counties could instead receive reimbursement for continued detention when a parole violation conviction and sentence require state custody.
Broad supervision coverage. The new requirement covers arrests for alleged violations of parole, presumptive release, conditional release and post-release supervision, including people supervised under the out-of-state parolee agreement.

a. transferred to a state correctional facility, with the costs and responsibilities associated with such transfer borne by the department pursuant to section six hundred two of this chapter; or
b. kept in such local correctional facility, with the county's costs of such temporary detainment reimbursed by the department where such person has been convicted of a parole violation and a sentence has been pronounced which requires that he or she be committed to the custody of the commissioner.
2. The provisions of subdivision one of this section shall not apply in any city having a population of one million or more inhabitants, or if the appropriate court grants an extension authorizing the detainee to remain in the local correctional facility for up to twenty days per extension.
