30 903A.4 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.

16 inmate shall be deemed to be serving the sentence from
17 the day on which the inmate is received into the
18 institution. If an inmate was confined to a county
19 jail or other correctional or mental facility at any
20 time prior to sentencing, or after sentencing but
21 prior to the case having been decided on appeal,
22 because of failure to furnish bail or because of being
23 charged with a nonbailable offense, the inmate shall
24 be given credit for the days already served upon the
25 term of the sentence. However, if a person commits
26 any offense while confined in a county jail or other
27 correctional or mental health facility, the person
28 shall not be granted jail credit for that offense.
29 Unless the inmate was confined in a correctional
30 facility, the sheriff of the county in which the
31 inmate was confined shall certify to the clerk of the
32 district court from which the inmate was sentenced and
33 to the department of corrections' records
34 administrator at the Iowa medical and classification
35 center the number of days so served. The department

42 which the inmate was sentenced.
43 Sec. . Section 903A.5, unnumbered paragraph 2,
44 Code Supplement 1999, is amended to read as follows:
45 An inmate shall not receive credit upon the
46 inmate's sentence for time spent in custody in another
47 state resisting return to Iowa following an escape, or
48 for time served. However, an inmate shall receive
49 credit upon the inmate's sentence while incarcerated
50 in an institution or jail of another jurisdiction
Page 18
1 during any period of time the person is receiving
2 credit upon a sentence of that other jurisdiction.
3 Sec. . Section 903A.7, Code 1999, is amended to
4 read as follows:
5 903A.7 SEPARATE SENTENCES.
6 Consecutive multiple sentences that are within the
7 same category under section 903A.2 shall be construed
8 as one continuous sentence for purposes of calculating
9 reductions of sentence for good conduct earned time.
10 If a person is sentenced to serve sentences of both
11 categories, category "B" sentences shall be served
12 before category "A" sentences are served, and good
13 conduct earned time earned accrued against the
14 category "B" sentences shall not be used to reduce the
15 category "A" sentences. If an inmate serving a
16 category "A" sentence is sentenced to serve a category
17 "B" sentence, the category "A" sentence shall be
18 interrupted, and no further good conduct earned time
19 shall accrue against that sentence until the category

26 cooperation with the judicial district departments of
27 correctional services, shall establish in each
28 judicial district a continuum of programming for the
29 supervision and treatment of offenders convicted of
30 violating chapter 321J who are sentenced to the
31 custody of the director. The continuum shall include
32 a range of sanctioning options that include, but are
33 not limited to, prisons and residential facilities.
34 b. (1) The department of corrections shall
35 develop standardized assessment criteria for the
36 assignment of offenders pursuant to this chapter.
37 (2) Offenders convicted of violating chapter 321J,
38 sentenced to the custody of the director, and awaiting
39 placement in a community residential substance abuse
40 treatment program for such offenders shall be placed
41 in an institutional substance abuse program for such
42 offenders within sixty days of admission to the
43 institution or as soon as practical. When placing
44 offenders convicted of violating chapter 321J in
45 community residential substance abuse treatment
46 programs for such offenders, the department shall give
47 priority as appropriate to the placement of those
48 offenders currently in institutional substance abuse
49 programs for such offenders. The department shall
50 work with each judicial district to enable such
Page 19
1 offenders to enter community residential substance
2 abuse treatment programs at a level comparable to
3 their prior institutional program participation.
4 (3) Assignment shall be for the purposes of risk
5 management and substance abuse treatment and may
6 include education or work programs when the offender
7 is not participating in other program components.
8 (4) Assignment may also be made on the basis of
9 the offender's treatment program performance, as a
10 disciplinary measure, for medical needs, and for space
11 availability at community residential facilities. If
12 there is insufficient space at a community residential
13 facility, the court may order an offender to be
14 released to the supervision of the judicial district
15 department of correctional services or held in jail."

22 earned time. An inmate's sentence shall be credited
23 with one day of earned time for every one day of
24 reduction credited under section 903A.2 and not lost
25 or forfeited under section 903A.3. The earned time
26 credited to an inmate's sentence shall equal the

28 credited which have not been lost or forfeited prior
29 to January 1, 2001. The department shall provide an

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE
A copy of the following communication was received and placed on
file:
April 25, 2000
Brent Siegrist
Speaker of the House
State Capitol Building
L O C A L
Dear Speaker Siegrist:
I hereby transmit House File 2502, an act relating to fee-supported services pro-
vided by a county including the payment of county law enforcement salaries and
expenses and providing applicability dates.
I am unable to approve House File 2502, and hereby transmit it to you in
accordance with Article III, Section 16, of the Constitution of the State of Iowa.
House File 2502 provides that a county shall use general funds to pay for salary
costs and expenses incurred in the performance of law enforcement responsibilities.
This bill was introduced to specifically address the issue of uniform patrol expendi-
tures. In recent years, some counties have moved away from covering all uniform
patrol expenditures through the county general fund and have started to apportion
costs associated with patrol in unincorporated areas to the county rural services fund.
This bill would prohibit that apportionment from occurring.
For FY00, twelve counties have funded uniform patrol services for unincorporated
areas from the rural services fund. There currently is litigation pending against two of
those counties on the issue of whether those services can be funded through the rural
services fund. It would be premature to make code changes before these cases have
been resolved by the courts.
I am also concerned about the potential double taxation this bill would impose on
some taxpayers. City residents could be paying for law enforcement through both the
city budget and the county budget, thus paying twice for these services.
For the above reasons, I hereby respectfully disapprove House File 2502.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Governor
