Sec. 15. (1) The local corrections officers training fund is created in the state treasury. The fund shall be administered by the council, which shall expend the fund only as provided in this section.
(2) There shall be credited to the local corrections officer training fund all revenue received from fees and civil fines collected under section 4b of 1846 RS 171, MCL 801.4b, and funds from any other source provided by law.
(3) The council shall use the fund only to defray the costs of continuing education, certification, recertification, decertification, and training of local corrections officers; the personnel and administrative costs of the office, board, and council; and other expenditures related to the requirements of this act. Only counties that forward to the fund 100% of fees collected under section 4b of 1846 RS 171, MCL 801.4b, are eligible to receive grants from the fund. A county that receives funds from the council under this section shall use those funds only for costs relating to the continuing education, certification, recertification, and training of local corrections officers in that county and shall not use those funds to supplant current spending by the county for those purposes, including state grants and training funds.
(4) The council, upon written request, shall reimburse the full amount of any fee paid by a person under section 4b of 1846 RS 171, MCL 801.4b, if the person was incarcerated pending trial and was found not guilty or the prosecution against the person was terminated for any reason. The council shall create and make available to all local correctional facilities in this state a written form explaining the provisions of this subsection. The form shall include the address to which the reimbursement request should be sent.
(5) Unexpended funds remaining in the fund at the end of the fiscal year shall remain in the fund and shall not revert to the general fund.
