SB 5795 - DIGEST

Recognizes that one of the legislature's foremost duties is the prioritization and wise use of taxpayer funds.

Concludes that the placement of art at a correctional facility which houses sex offenders is not a priority over other state programs such as education and public safety, and further expenditures on such activities constitute a misuse and waste of taxpayer funds. To prevent such misuse of taxpayer dollars, the legislature hereby intends to prohibit the expenditure of public funds on placement of works of art in the special commitment center housed at McNeil Island.
