                                                                            C 162 L 86

State of Washington                              49th Legislature                              1986 Regular Session

By Senators Rasmussen, Talmadge, Wojahn, Kiskaddon, Deccio and McDonald; by request of Department of Corrections

Read first time 1/20/86 and referred to Committee on Human Services & Corrections.

AN ACT Relating to institutional industries; and amending RCW 72.09.110.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

        Sec. 1.  Section 12, chapter 136, Laws of 1981 and RCW 72.09.110 are each amended to read as follows:

          All inmates working in prison industries shall participate in the cost of corrections, including costs to develop and implement institutional industries programs.  The secretary shall develop a formula which can be used to determine the extent to which the wages of these inmates will be deducted for this purpose.  The amount so deducted shall be placed in the general fund and shall be a reasonable amount which will not unduly discourage the incentive to work.  The secretary may direct the state treasurer to deposit a portion of these moneys in the crime victims compensation account.

          When the secretary finds it appropriate and not unduly destructive of the work incentive, the secretary shall also provide deductions for restitution, savings, and family support.

                                                                                                                      Passed the Senate February 13, 1986.

                                                                                                                                       President of the Senate.
