	This bill requires the sheriff for each county to appoint a board of visitors for each correctional facility under the sheriffs supervision.  It is also requires the board of visitors to inspect the correctional facility for security purposes.  The additional local costs to appoint the board of visitors and inspect the correctional facilities are expected to be minor.  Pursuant to the Mandate Preamble, the two-thirds vote all members elected to each House exempts the State from the constitutional requirement to fund 90 % of the additional local costs.
