| | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | | Sec. 1. 30-A MRSA §1505, as amended by PL 1989, c. 104, Pt. C, §§8 | | and 10, is further amended to read: |
|
| | | §1505. Record of persons committed |
|
| | | Every sheriff shall keep in a suitable bound book | | exact calendar containing the names of all prisoners committed to | | the jail under the sheriff's charge, their residences, additions, | | time of their commitments, for what cause and by what authority, | | and a particular description of the persons of those committed | for offenses. The sheriff shall register in that book | | and description, the time when and the authority by which any | | prisoner was discharged, and the time and manner of any | | prisoner's escape. The information required by this section must | | be kept in a suitable, permanent record at the office of the | | sheriff. |
|
| | | This bill removes the requirement that a sheriff keep certain | | information about prisoners committed to the jail under the | | sheriff's charge in a bound book and replaces it with a | | requirement that this information be kept in a suitable, | | permanent record at the office of the sheriff. |
