21.14 	of non-CCA jurisdictions served by the Department of Corrections, and each applicable 
21.15 	Tribal Nation under paragraph (e) equals the sum of:
21.16 	(1) a base funding amount equal to $150,000; and
21.17 	(2) a community supervision formula equal to the sum of:
21.18 	(i) for each individual with a felony sentence, a felony per diem rate of $5.62 multiplied 
21.19 	by the sum of the county's or Tribal Nation's adult felony population, adult supervised 
21.20 	release and parole populations, and juvenile supervised release and parole populations as 
21.21 	reported in the most recent probation survey published by the commissioner, multiplied by 
21.22 	365; and
21.23 	(ii) for each individual sentenced for a gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor or under 
21.24 	juvenile probation, the felony per diem rate of $5.62 multiplied by 0.5 and then multiplied 
21.25 	by the sum of the county's or Tribal Nation's gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, and juvenile 
21.26 	populations as reported in the most recent probation survey published by the commissioner, 
21.27 	multiplied by 365.
21.28 	(i) for individuals with a felony sentence, the felony per diem rate of $5.62 shall be 
21.29 	multiplied by the average total population over the three most recent years, as reported in 
21.30 	the probation surveys published by the commissioner. This population includes the county 
21.31 	or Tribal Nation's adult felony population, adult supervised release population, adult parole 
21.32 	population, juvenile supervised release population, and juvenile parole population. The 
22.1 	resulting amount shall then be multiplied by 365 to calculate the total annual allocation; 
22.2 	and
22.3 	(ii) for individuals sentenced for a gross misdemeanor, for a misdemeanor, or under 
22.4 	juvenile probation, the felony per diem rate of $5.62 shall be multiplied by 0.5, and then 
22.5 	multiplied by the average total population over the three most recent years, as reported in 
22.6 	the probation surveys published by the commissioner. This population includes the county 
22.7 	or Tribal Nation's gross misdemeanor population, misdemeanor population, and juvenile 
22.8 	probation population. The resulting amount shall then be multiplied by 365 to calculate the 
22.9 	total annual allocation.

22.11 	(c), the base funding amount must be shared equally between the jurisdiction and the 
22.12 	commissioner for the provision of felony supervision under section 244.20.
22.13 	(c) If in any year the total amount appropriated for the purpose of this section is more 
22.14 	than or less than the total of base funding plus community supervision formula funding for 
22.15 	all counties and applicable Tribal Nations, the sum of each county's and applicable Tribal 
22.16 	Nation's base funding plus community supervision formula funding is adjusted by the ratio 
22.17 	of amounts appropriated for this purpose divided by the total of base funding plus community 
22.18 	supervision formula funding for all counties and applicable Tribal Nations.
22.19 	(d) If in any year the base funding plus the community supervision formula amount 
22.20 	based on what was appropriated in fiscal year 2024 is less than the funding paid to the 
22.21 	county in fiscal year 2023, the difference is added to the community supervision formula 
22.22 	amount for that county. A county is not eligible for additional funding under this paragraph 
22.23 	unless the base funding plus community supervision formula results in an increase in funding 
22.24 	for the county based on what was appropriated in the previous fiscal year. This paragraph 
22.25 	expires June 30, 2029.
22.26 	(e) For each Tribal Nation, a funding amount of $250,000 is allotted annually to purchase 
22.27 	probation services or probation-related services, including contracted services, but a Tribal 
22.28 	Nation that becomes a CCA jurisdiction or a non-CCA jurisdiction under section 244.19, 
22.29 	subdivision 1b, paragraph (b) or (c), is an applicable Tribal Nation under paragraphs (a) to 
22.30 	(c) and:
