SOURCE: IC 11-10-16; (11)SB0561.3.7. -->     SECTION 7. IC 11-10-16 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW CHAPTER TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2011]:
     Chapter 16. County Incentives for Class D Felony Offenders
    Sec. 1. The department shall administer a local rehabilitation incentive and disincentive program for counties to reduce the number of Class D felony offenders committed to the department.
    Sec. 2. (a) Before September 1, 2011, the department shall establish a baseline average number of Class D felony offenders that each county commits annually to the department based on the 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 calendar years.
    (b) The department shall provide a local rehabilitation incentive to each county that commits to the department fewer Class D felony offenders than the baseline average established for that county described in subsection (a) in one (1) calendar year.
    (c) Before March 1 each year, the department shall calculate the incentive described in subsection (b) using the following formula:
        STEP ONE: Subtract the number of Class D felony offenders a county commits to the department in a calendar year from the baseline average for that county described in subsection (a).
        STEP TWO: If the STEP ONE amount is not positive, the incentive amount is zero (0). Otherwise, multiply the number of offenders determined under STEP ONE by the average
number of days of the length of stay for a Class D felony offender in the department as determined under IC 11-10-13-1(c).
        STEP THREE: Multiply the amount determined under STEP TWO by the average daily marginal cost of incarcerating an offender determined under IC 11-10-13-1(b).
        STEP FOUR: Multiply the amount determined under STEP THREE by fifty percent (50%).
    (d) The department shall not consider a Class D felony offender whose:
        (1) probation has been revoked;
        (2) participation in a community corrections program has been terminated as a result of a violation of program requirements; or
        (3) participation in a problem solving court has been terminated as a result of a violation of program requirements;
in the calculations under this chapter.
    Sec. 3. (a) Before June 1 each year, the local rehabilitation incentive described in section 2 of this chapter shall be made from the marginal savings realized by the department as a result of the counties committing fewer Class D felony offenders to the department and shall be distributed to a county's fiscal body, which shall redistribute the incentive to:
        (1) programs that defray the expense of housing an offender in jail;
        (2) probation programs;
        (3) work release programs;
        (4) community corrections programs; or
        (5) problem solving courts.
The fiscal body shall give first priority to probation and community corrections programs, and second priority to problem solving courts and work release programs.
    (b) If a county has a local community corrections advisory board, the local community corrections advisory board shall make a recommendation to the county's fiscal body regarding how local rehabilitation incentive funds should be distributed.
    Sec. 4. (a) The department shall create a disincentive to each county that commits to the department more than ten (10) more Class D felony offenders than the baseline average established for that county described in section 2(a) of this chapter in one (1) calendar year.
    (b) Before March 1 each year, the department shall calculate the

disincentive described in subsection (a) using the following formula:
        STEP ONE: Subtract the baseline average for that county described in section 2(a) of this chapter from the number of Class D felony offenders a county commits to the department in a calendar year.
        STEP TWO: If the STEP ONE amount is ten (10) or less, the disincentive amount is zero (0). Otherwise, multiply the number of offenders determined under STEP ONE by the average number of days of the length of stay for a Class D felony offender in the department as determined under IC 11-10-13-1(c).
        STEP THREE: Multiply the amount determined under STEP TWO by the average daily marginal cost of incarcerating an offender as determined under IC 11-10-13-1(b).
        STEP FOUR: Multiply the amount determined under STEP THREE by fifty percent (50%).
    (c) The department shall not consider a Class D felony offender whose:
        (1) probation has been revoked;
        (2) participation in a community corrections program has been terminated as a result of a violation of program requirements; or
        (3) participation in a problem solving court has been terminated as a result of a violation of program requirements;
in the calculations under this chapter.
    Sec. 5. Before June 1 each year, the department shall withhold the amount of the disincentive described in section 4 of this chapter from the amount of money the department is required to deposit in a county's misdemeanant fund under IC 11-12-6.
    Sec. 6. The department may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to implement this chapter.

        (2) those records were expunged.

    (b) The state may not seek to have a person sentenced as a habitual offender for a felony offense under this section if:
        (1) the offense is a misdemeanor that is enhanced to a felony in the same proceeding as the habitual offender proceeding solely because the person had a prior unrelated conviction; or

        (2) the conviction is one for which the person has been pardoned. or
        ~~(3)~~ ~~all~~ of ~~the~~ ~~following~~ ~~apply:~~
            ~~(A)~~ ~~The~~ ~~offense~~ is an ~~offense~~ ~~under~~ IC ~~16-42-19~~ or IC ~~35-48-4.~~

    (e) The requirements in subsection (b) do not apply to a prior unrelated felony conviction that is used to support a sentence as a habitual offender. A prior unrelated felony conviction may be used

under this section to support a sentence as a habitual offender even if the sentence for the prior unrelated offense was enhanced for any reason, including an enhancement because the person had been convicted of another offense. However, a prior unrelated felony conviction under IC 9-30-10-16, IC 9-30-10-17, IC 9-12-3-1 (repealed), or IC 9-12-3-2 (repealed) may not be used to support a sentence as a habitual offender.
    (f) If the person was convicted of the felony in a jury trial, the jury shall reconvene for the sentencing hearing. If the trial was to the court or the judgment was entered on a guilty plea, the court alone shall conduct the sentencing hearing under IC 35-38-1-3.
    (g) A person is a habitual offender if the jury (if the hearing is by jury) or the court (if the hearing is to the court alone) finds that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the person had accumulated two (2) prior unrelated felony convictions.
    (h) The court shall sentence a person found to be a habitual offender to an additional fixed term that is not less than the advisory sentence for the underlying offense nor more than three (3) times the advisory sentence for the underlying offense. However, the additional sentence may not exceed thirty (30) years.

    (b) The state may seek to have a person sentenced as a habitual substance offender for any substance offense by alleging, on a page separate from the rest of the charging instrument, that the person has accumulated two (2) prior unrelated substance offense convictions.
    (c) After a person has been convicted and sentenced for a substance offense committed after sentencing for a prior unrelated substance offense conviction, the person has accumulated two (2) prior unrelated substance offense convictions. However, a conviction does not count for purposes of this subsection if:
        (1) it has been set aside; or
        (2) it is a conviction for which the person has been pardoned.
    (d) If the person was convicted of the substance offense in a jury

trial, the jury shall reconvene for the sentencing hearing. If the trial was to the court, or the judgment was entered on a guilty plea, the court alone shall conduct the sentencing hearing, under IC 35-38-1-3.
    (e) A person is a habitual substance offender if the jury (if the hearing is by jury) or the court (if the hearing is to the court alone) finds that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the person had accumulated two (2) prior unrelated substance offense convictions.
    (f) The court shall sentence a person found to be a habitual substance offender to an additional fixed term of at least three (3) years but not more than eight (8) years imprisonment, to be added to the term of imprisonment imposed under IC 35-50-2 or IC 35-50-3. If the court finds that
        ~~(1)~~ three (3) years or more have elapsed since the date the person was discharged from probation, imprisonment, or parole (whichever is later) for the last prior unrelated substance offense conviction and the date the person committed the substance offense for which the person is being sentenced as a habitual substance offender, or
        ~~(2)~~ ~~all~~ of ~~the~~ ~~substance~~ ~~offenses~~ ~~for~~ ~~which~~ ~~the~~ ~~person~~ ~~has~~ ~~been~~ ~~convicted~~ ~~are~~ ~~substance~~ ~~offenses~~ ~~under~~ IC ~~16-42-19~~ or IC ~~35-48-4,~~ ~~the~~ ~~person~~ ~~has~~ ~~not~~ ~~been~~ ~~convicted~~ of a ~~substance~~ ~~offense~~ ~~listed~~ in ~~section~~ ~~2(b)(4)~~ of ~~this~~ ~~chapter,~~ ~~and~~ ~~the~~ ~~total~~ ~~number~~ of ~~convictions~~ ~~that~~ ~~the~~ ~~person~~ ~~has~~ ~~for:~~

        ~~does~~ ~~not~~ ~~exceed~~ ~~one~~ ~~(1);~~
then the court may reduce the additional fixed term. However, the court may not reduce the additional fixed term to less than one (1) year.
    (g) If a reduction of the additional year fixed term is authorized under subsection (f), the court may also consider the aggravating or circumstances in IC 35-38-1-7.1(a) and the mitigating circumstances in IC 35-38-1-7.1(b) to:
        (1) decide the issue of granting a reduction; or
        (2) determine the number of years, if any, to be subtracted under subsection (f).
