SECTION 1. Notwithstanding Section 23.12(g) of S.L. 2006-66, the Department of Correction shall take appropriate measures, including maximizing the use of the Inmate Construction Program, to reduce the costs related to the construction of projects authorized by S.L. 2007-323 and S.L. 2008-107, as each is amended by S.L. 2009-209, to be financed with the proceeds of special indebtedness incurred pursuant to Article 9 of Chapter 142 of the General Statutes.

Such alternate use of funds shall not require any further approval of the Council of State pursuant to Article 9 of Chapter 142 of the General Statutes.
