Detailed Fiscal Analysis
The fiscally relevant provision of the bill prohibits the use of prison labor to perform any type of general maintenance or other work at the Governor's residence. This restriction does not eliminate the responsibility of the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to provide for the operations and general maintenance of the Governor's residence and grounds. The bill will likely result in an increase in expenditures incurred by DAS to maintain continuity in the services provided at the Governor's residence. DAS has estimated that the size of the annual expenditure increase would be approximately $281,000, which reflects the cost of paying separate vendors or other full-time state workers to perform the same functions that were formerly provided by prison labor. According to the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, nine inmates are assigned to the Governor's residence and the Department pays each one $100 per month. The total annual cost for the inmate labor would therefore be $10,800 (9 inmates x $100 x 12 months).
