Plain-English Summary

This bill requires Iowa counties to conduct a cost-benefit study before approving major jail projects like building a new jail or significantly renovating an existing one. The study must compare the cost of the project to the cost of contracting with another county for jail services, including detailed information on prisoner numbers, operating expenses, and surrounding jail capacities.
