 4        Section 5.  The County Jail Act is  amended  by  changing
 5    Section 5 as follows:

 6        (730 ILCS 125/5) (from Ch. 75, par. 105)
 7        Sec. 5. Costs of maintaining prisoners.
 8        (a)  Except  as  provided in subsection (b), all costs of
 9    maintaining persons committed for violations of Illinois law,
10    shall  be  the  responsibility  of  the  county.   Except  as
11    provided in subsection (b), all costs of maintaining  persons
12    committed  under  any  ordinance  or  resolution of a unit of
13    local   government,   including   medical   costs,   is   the
14    responsibility of the unit of local government  enacting  the
15    ordinance or resolution, and arresting the person.
16        (b)  If  a  person who has been convicted of a felony and
17    has violated mandatory supervised release for that felony  is
18    incarcerated  in  a county jail pending the resolution of the
19    violation  of  mandatory  supervised  release,  the  Illinois
20    Department of Corrections shall pay the county in which  that
21    jail  is  located  one-half  of the cost of incarceration, as
22    calculated by the Illinois  Bureau  of  the  Budget  and  the
23    county's  chief  financial  officer,  for  each  day that the
24    person remains in the county jail.  Calculation  of  the  per
25    diem  cost  shall  be agreed upon prior to the passage of the
26    annual State budget.
