§ 601-c. Felony prisoners; reimbursement for costs. Notwithstanding

any other provision of law, in any case where a person has been

convicted of a felony and a sentence has been pronounced which requires

that he or she be committed to the custody of the commissioner, if such

person has not been accepted for custody by the commissioner within ten

business days of receipt of a written notification by the department

from the appropriate local official that he or she is prepared to

transport such person to the facility designated by the department,

provided that there has been compliance with subdivision (a) of section

six hundred one of this article, and provided further that such person

is not in need of immediate medical care requiring the availability of a

hospital or infirmary bed, then the expense of maintaining such person

shall be paid by the state at the rate of one hundred dollars per day

per capita, or the actual per day per capita cost as certified by the

appropriate local official, whichever is less, beginning with the first

day of receipt of written notification by the department.
