  1 17    "Sec.    .  SPLIT-SENTENCING PILOT PROJECT.
  1 18    1.  The general assembly finds that the
  1 19 implementation of a split-sentencing pilot project
  1 20 within this state could serve as a test for a fair and
  1 21 flexible method of dispensing criminal justice which
  1 22 provides for an incremental approach to the imposition
  1 23 of aggravated misdemeanor and felony criminal
  1 24 sentences and may help to reduce the current prison
  1 25 overcrowding problems while protecting the public
  1 26 safety.  A split-sentencing pilot project is therefore
  1 27 established in a judicial district to be determined by
  1 28 the supreme court.  The judicial district shall be
  1 29 selected based on the availability of jail space
  1 30 within the judicial district, and whether the judicial
  1 31 district in consultation with the county board or
  1 32 boards of supervisors and the sheriff or sheriffs
  1 33 desires to participate in the project.
  1 34 Notwithstanding any other contrary provision of law,
  1 35 subsection 2 of this section shall apply within and
  1 36 only within the judicial district which is selected to
  1 37 participate in this pilot project from the date of the
  1 38 enactment of this Act through June 30, 1996.
  1 39    2.  By record entry at the time of or after
  1 40 sentencing for an aggravated misdemeanor or a felony,
  1 41 other than a class "A" felony, the court may sentence
  1 42 the defendant to serve up to ninety days of the
  1 43 sentence in the county jail and suspend the balance of
  1 44 the term imposed.  If the person is ordered to serve
  1 45 up to ninety days in jail, the costs of the person's
  1 46 confinement shall be paid by the state at the rate
  1 47 negotiated by the department of corrections with the
  1 48 judicial district under section 904.908.  Payment
  1 49 shall be made by the department of revenue and finance
  1 50 upon submission of a voucher executed by the sheriff.
  2  1 Persons serving time in a county jail under this
  2  2 subsection shall be committed to the custody of the
  2  3 director of the department of corrections and the
  2  4 department shall be responsible for all prisoner
  2  5 medical costs.""
  2  6    #5.  Page 2, line 46, by inserting after the word
  2  7 "study," the following:  "providing for a pilot
  2  8 project,".
