  1  2    #1.  Page 5, by inserting after line 2 the

  1  4    "Sec.    .  CORRECTIONAL SERVICES PILOT PROJECTS.
  1  5    1.  The general assembly recognizes that problem
  1  6 gamblers and persons affected by gambling who do not
  1  7 receive some treatment for their gambling problems are
  1  8 at risk to commit crimes and the gambling treatment
  1  9 program established in section 135.110 as enacted in
  1 10 this Act is designed to eliminate or reduce this risk.
  1 11 Therefore it is the intent of the general assembly
  1 12 that pilot projects be established for problem
  1 13 gamblers and to target other criminal offenders who
  1 14 are at high risk to commit a first offense or
  1 15 recidivate and to evaluate the progress of
  1 16 participants.  The district court and the department
  1 17 of corrections shall cooperate with the first and
  1 18 second judicial district departments of correctional
  1 19 services in carrying out the pilot projects and shall
  1 20 assist in obtaining grants and private resources to
  1 21 supplement the appropriation made in subsection 2.
  1 22 Each judicial district department of correctional
  1 23 services shall file a report with the legislative
  1 24 fiscal bureau by January 15, 1998, on the results of
  1 25 the pilot project in the judicial district.
  1 26    2.  There is appropriated from the general fund of
  1 27 the state to the department of corrections for the
  1 28 fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996, and ending June
  1 29 30, 1997, the following amount, or so much thereof as
  1 30 is necessary, to be used for the purpose designated:
  1 31    For distribution to the first and second judicial
  1 32 district departments of correctional services to be
  1 33 used in accordance with the provisions of this
  1 34 section:  
  1 35 .................................................. $    100,000
  1 36    The first and second judicial district departments
  1 37 of correctional services shall utilize moneys
  1 38 appropriated in this section to establish a pilot
  1 39 project in each judicial district department of
  1 40 correctional services to provide targeted services to
  1 41 offenders convicted of a serious or aggravated
  1 42 misdemeanor.  The moneys appropriated in this section
  1 43 shall be evenly divided between the first and second
  1 44 judicial district departments of correctional
  1 45 services."
