BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
(Executive Budget: pp. 343-347)

The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is the major administrative
agency with responsibilities for both State and Federal criminal justice 
funding, and for providing financial support to State and local criminal 
justice agencies. This agency is included in the Public Protection and 
General Government appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive proposes General Fund State Operations appropriations totaling
$44,877,300, which represents a 3.8 percent increase over SFY 2000-01.  This
increase is attributable to additional staff necessary to implement criminal
justice legislation enacted during the 2000 Session, additional staff 
associated with the proposed merger of administrative functions from the Crime
Victims Board and the Office of Prevention for Domestic Violence, costs 
associated with salary adjustments, and increased lease costs. 

The Executive also proposes a Special Revenue-funds appropriation of $45,787,400,
a decrease of $4,022,300.

Aid to Localities

The Executive recommends General Fund Aid to Localities appropriations 
totaling $56,387,500, a decrease  $28,771,115. This decrease is largely 
attributable to the lack of continued funding for SFY 2000-01 legislative 
initiatives and the elimination of the Aid to Law Enforcement Program.

The Executive recommends maintaining SFY 2000-01 levels of support 
for the following:

--     Aid to Defense           $13,837,300
--     Aid to Prosecution       $21,163,000
--     Special Narcotics Prosecutor$ 1,425,000

The Executive proposes new appropriations for the following: 

--     Gun Interdiction/District Attorney costs$   500,000
--     Livery Car Education Program$   200,000
      
Article VII Legislation

The Executive proposes Omnibus Article VII legislation extending various 
criminal justice programs and fees which of would otherwise expire. 
They are:

-- Provisions related to prisoner furloughs and the crime of 
   absconding from a facility;
-- Earned Eligibility Program;
-- Comprehensive Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program;
-- Temporary Release program;
-- Capacity designation of Comprehensive Alcohol and Substance 
   Abuse Program and eligibility limitation for temporary release program;
-- Provisions related to community treatment facilities and the crime 
   of absconding from a community treatment facility;
-- Provisions related to the incarceration fee;
-- Local conditional release law;
-- Parole supervision fee;
-- Provisions relating to DWI and custody investigation fees;
-- Provisions of the Classification/Alternatives to Incarceration law;
-- Ignition interlock device program;
-- Provisions related to the release of inmates on medical parole; and
-- Provisions related to psychological testing of correction 
   officer candidates.
