Alleged work release violators — temporary confinement by counties — reimbursement

1. Upon request by the Iowa department of corrections or the board of parole, a county shall provide temporary confinement for alleged violators of work release conditions if space is available. 2. The Iowa department of corrections shall negotiate a reimbursement rate with each county for the temporary confinement of alleged violators of work release conditions who are in the custody of or who are housed or supervised by the director of the Iowa department of corrections. The amount to be reimbursed shall be determined by multiplying the number of days a person is confined by the average daily cost of confining a person in the county facility as negotiated with the department. Payment shall be made upon submission of a voucher executed by the sheriff and approved by the director of the Iowa department of corrections. 3. Any request for reimbursement under subsection 2 shall be made within thirty days of the end of a calendar quarter. If a request for reimbursement is not made within thirty days of the end of the calendar quarter, the request shall be denied by the department.
