Adds to existing law to authorize a sheriff's office to seek reimbursement for costs of recapture.

This legislation would allow county Sheriffs to be reimbursed for the cost of collecting and returning a prisoner, probationer or parolee who has absconded from the Idaho Department of Correction or the Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole. Currently, those costs are totally borne by county taxpayers. A single transport can cost thousands of dollars and are mandated upon the individual county.
