Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that the additional charge for commissary goods shall be up to 35% for tobacco products and 25% for non-tobacco products. Provides that the additional charge shall be based upon the amount necessary to cover wages and benefits of employees of commissaries who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Provides that 40% of the profits on sales from commissary stores shall be expended by the Department of Corrections for a special benefit of committed persons. Provides that the remainder must be used first to pay for wages and benefits of commissary employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and then to pay to costs of dietary staff. Prohibits the Department from entering into a contract with a private contractor or vendor to perform commissary services at a prison facility.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Corrections)
 Senate Bill 629 changes the Unified Code of Corrections, providing that 40% of the profits on sales from commissary stores shall be expended by the Department for the special benefit of committed persons. The remaining 60% of the profits, must be used first to pay for wages and benefits to employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement who are employed at commissary facilities of the Department, and second to Department dietary staff. Another provision increases the maximum profit for the sale of commissary goods up to 35% for tobacco products and 25% for non-tobacco products of the selling price of the goods. The Department would have $2,733,264 in revenues to be expended elsewhere as long as current sales remained constant. This legislation would increase commissary revenues for the Inmate Benefit Fund by 11.6% over the profits experienced during FY01.

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends that 60% of the profits from sales from commissary stores must be deposited into the General Revenue Fund. Deletes provisions that these profits must be used first to pay for wages and benefits of employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement who are employed at commissary facilities of the Department of Corrections and then to pay the costs of dietary staff. Deletes the provision that the amount of the additional charges for goods sold at commissaries shall be based upon the amount necessary to pay for the wages and benefits of commissary employees who are employed at commissary facilities of the Department.
