Section 63G-1.022 - Calculating Detention Costs

(1) By July 15 of each year, the department will provide each non-fiscally constrained county with that county's annual percentage share, and its individual portion of total shared detention costs for the state's fiscal year.

(2) Each non-fiscally constrained county's individual portion of detention funding will be calculated by multiplying its annual percentage share by 50 percent of the total shared detention costs. The annual individual portion is payable in 12 equal payments due on August 1 and due on the first day of each month thereafter until the annual amount is paid in full.

(3) The costs of detention care for youth residing in fiscally constrained counties, for youth residing out-of-state, and for youth in state detention care from counties that operate their own detention centers, are excluded from the non-fiscally constrained counties' billing. The service days for these excluded youth are divided by the total service days. The resulting percentage is applied to the total detention costs, producing an amount that must be deducted to arrive at the total shared detention costs.
