  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    356.15  EXPENSES.
  1  4    All charges and expenses for the safekeeping and
  1  5 maintenance of prisoners shall be allowed by the board of
  1  6 supervisors, except those committed or detained by the
  1  7 authority of the courts of the United States, in which cases
  1  8 the United States must pay such expenses to the county, and
  1  9 those committed for violation of a city ordinance, in which
  1 10 case the city shall pay expenses to the county, and those
  1 11 committed or detained as a result of a conviction of a class
  1 12 "D" felony and sentenced to one year in jail under section
  1 13 902.3, in which case the state of Iowa shall pay the expenses
  1 14 to the county at a uniform rate to be established by the
  1 15 department of corrections.
  1 16    Sec. 2.  Section 902.3, Code 1995, is amended to read as
  1 17 follows:
  1 18    902.3  INDETERMINATE SENTENCE.
  1 19    When a judgment of conviction of a felony other than a
  1 20 class "A" felony is entered against a person, the court, in
  1 21 imposing a sentence of confinement, shall commit the person
  1 22 into the custody of the director of the Iowa department of
  1 23 corrections for an indeterminate term, the maximum length of
  1 24 which shall not exceed the limits as fixed by section 707.3 or
  1 25 section 902.9 nor shall the term be less than the minimum term
  1 26 imposed by law, if a minimum sentence is provided.  However,
  1 27 the court may sentence a person convicted of a class "D"
  1 28 felony for a violation of section 321J.2 to imprisonment for
  1 29 up to one year in a county jail under section 902.9,
  1 30 subsection 4, and the person shall not be under the custody of
  1 31 the director of the Iowa department of corrections.
  1 32    Sec. 3.  Section 902.9, subsection 4, unnumbered paragraph
  1 33 1, Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  1 34    A class "D" felon, not an habitual offender, shall be
  1 35 confined for no more than five years, and in addition may be
  2  1 sentenced to a fine of at least five hundred dollars but not
  2  2 more than seven thousand five hundred dollars.  A class "D"
  2  3 felon, such felony being for a violation of section 321J.2,
  2  4 may instead, however, be sentenced to imprisonment for up to
  2  5 one year in the county jail.  
  2  6                           EXPLANATION
  2  7    This bill permits a person who is adjudged guilty of an
  2  8 offense which is punishable as a class "D" felony to be
  2  9 sentenced, in the judge's discretion, to one year in jail.
  2 10 The costs of confining the offender will be paid by the state
  2 11 at a rate to be determined and established by the department
  2 12 of corrections.
