Excludes county reimbursement for any inmate declared incompetent to stand trial.

West Virginia Senate Bill 975 amends the state code to exclude county reimbursement for any inmate declared incompetent to stand trial. This bill modifies the existing provisions related to county reimbursement for housing and maintaining inmates, ensuring that counties are not responsible for the costs of housing and maintaining inmates found to lack the requisite competency to stand trial. The bill specifies that the costs of housing and maintaining such inmates are borne by the state, not the county.
