PRISON CHAPEL FUNDS

Sec. 19. (a) Section 44 of Chapter 1044 of the 1991 Session Laws reads as rewritten:

"Sec. 44.  A Reserve for Prison Chapels is established in the Office of State Budget and Management to construct chapels at correctional facilities.  The funds are to be allocated to specific chapel projects when a minimum local match of one dollar for every two State dollars needed for the estimated project cost is made available.  No more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) of State funds shall be allocated to any single project.  Funds appropriated to the reserve established in this section shall not revert but shall remain available to the Department for the purposes of this section.

The Department of Correction shall notify all prison units of the availability of these funds and shall solicit letters of intent from interested units.  The Department shall evaluate the letters of intent for proposed chapel projects, notify those prison units whose projects appear most likely to obtain local matching funds during the 1992-93 fiscal year, and authorize those units to proceed based upon the total availability of State funds.  The Department shall notify the Office of State Budget and Management of those units that have been authorized to proceed.

The Office of State Budget and Management shall report quarterly to the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations on any allocations from the reserve established in this section."
