1 27 1. The general assembly finds that the
1 28 implementation of a split-sentencing pilot project
1 29 within this state could serve as a test for a fair and
1 30 flexible method of dispensing criminal justice which
1 31 provides for an incremental approach to the imposition
1 32 of aggravated misdemeanor and felony criminal
1 33 sentences and may help to reduce the current prison
1 34 overcrowding problems while protecting the public
1 35 safety. A split-sentencing pilot project is therefore
1 36 established in a judicial district to be determined by
1 37 the supreme court. The judicial district shall be
1 38 selected based on the availability of jail space
1 39 within the judicial district, and whether the judicial
1 40 district in consultation with the county board or
1 41 boards of supervisors and the sheriff or sheriffs
1 42 desires to participate in the project.
1 43 Notwithstanding any other contrary provision of law,
1 44 subsection 2 of this section shall apply within and
1 45 only within the judicial district which is selected to
1 46 participate in this pilot project from the date of the
1 47 enactment of this Act through June 30, 1996.
1 48 2. By record entry at the time of or after
1 49 sentencing for an aggravated misdemeanor or a felony,
1 50 other than a class "A" felony, the court may sentence
2 1 the defendant to serve up to ninety days of the
2 2 sentence in the county jail and suspend the balance of
2 3 the term imposed. If the person is ordered to serve
2 4 up to ninety days in jail, the costs of the person's
2 5 confinement shall be paid by the state at the rate
2 6 negotiated by the department of corrections with the
2 7 judicial district under section 904.908. Payment
2 8 shall be made by the department of revenue and finance
2 9 upon submission of a voucher executed by the sheriff.
2 10 Persons serving time in a county jail under this
2 11 subsection shall be committed to the custody of the
2 12 director of the department of corrections and the
2 13 department shall be responsible for all prisoner
2 14 medical costs.""

2 16 "study," the following: "providing for a pilot
2 17 project,".
