(a) When a county is applying for funds of $300,000 or less, or for modification of an existing jail which does not result in the addition of any new beds, the county shall submit a Minor Corrections Needs Assessment Study, as described in section 536. All other counties shall submit a Major Corrections Needs Assessment Study as described in section 538.

(b) The Board may exempt a county from performing a new needs assessment if any of the following conditions exist:

(1) The Board determines that a prior needs assessment is in substantial compliance and justifies the project being funded.

(2) A county receives funds from the 1988 bond act in an amount of $300,000 or less.

If exempted from performing a needs assessment, counties shall provide an analysis of specific jail deficiencies, including levels of security; programs including, but not limited to, medical and mental health care; housing; and administration. This analysis shall also include specific plans for correcting the deficiencies.
