As used in this 1 13 paragraph, "costs of confinement and maintenance" includes 1 14 food, lodging, clothing, and necessary medical expenses. 1 15 Sec. 2. Section 901.7, Code 1995, is amended to read as 1 16 follows: 1 17 901.7 COMMITMENT TO CUSTODY. 1 18 In imposing a sentence of confinement for more than one 1 19 year, the court shall commit the defendant to the custody of 1 20 the director of the Iowa department of corrections.

Upon a plea of 2 5 guilty or conviction, a felon normally is transferred to the 2 6 custody of the state correctional system. However, the class 2 7 "B", class "C", and class "D" felons are required to have a 2 8 presentence investigation completed for them before 2 9 sentencing, a procedure which may require an additional period 2 10 of confinement in the county jail. Currently, the counties 2 11 pay for the costs of confinement and maintenance during the 2 12 investigation. 2 13 LSB 1678HV 76 2 14 tj/sc/14
