MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR
April 4, 1997
The Honorable Gary Aklestad
President of the Senate
State Capitol
Helena, Montana 59620
Dear Senator Aklestad:
Please be informed that I have signed Senate Bill 117 sponsored by Senator Nelson on April 4, 1997.
Sincerely,
MARC RACICOT
Governor
April 4, 1997
The Honorable Gary Aklestad
President of the Senate
State Capitol
Helena MT 59620
The Honorable John Mercer
Speaker of the House
State Capitol
Helena MT 59620
Dear President Aklestad and Speaker Mercer:
In accordance with the power vested in me as Governor by the Constitution and laws of the State of Montana, I hereby return Senate Bill 2, "AN ACT GENERALLY REVISING, CLARIFYING, AND CONSOLIDATING THE LAWS GOVERNING WORK PROGRAMS FOR INMATES; AUTHORIZING THE USE OF INMATE LABOR FOR THE REMOVAL OF GRAFFITI FROM PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT OF INSTITUTIONS; AUTHORIZING THE USE OF INMATE LABOR FOR THE REMOVAL OF LITTER FROM THE PROPERTY OF INSTITUTIONS, PUBLIC ROADS, AND PUBLIC PARKS; PROVIDING FOR SECURING INMATES WHILE PERFORMING WORK; ALLOWING THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS TO DONATE SURPLUS FOOD GROWN OR PRODUCED TO CERTAIN ENTITIES; AMENDING SECTIONS 53-1-301, 53-1-304, 53-30-111, 53-30-131, AND 53-30-132 MCA; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE."
Senate Bill 2, in part, permits the Department of Corrections to use inmate labor for the removal of litter and graffiti from property and equipment of institutions, public roads, and public parks. While the Department is not mandated to use inmate labor for such purposes, there would be no reason for passage of the bill if the Legislature did not intend that the Department be able to exercise its discretion and establish inmate labor programs.
The fiscal note for Senate Bill 2 states that the implementation of inmate work programs will cost the general fund $105,670 in fiscal year 1998 and $77,470 in fiscal year 1999. These are sums that the Department cannot absorb, and since there is no funding provided in the bill, I am offering an amendment to prevent the law from becoming effective unless there is an appropriation for adequate funding.
It is my understanding that Senator Holden, the bill's sponsor, is aware of this proposal.
Sincerely,
MARC RACICOT
Governor
