Article 5.G of the General Municipal Law authorizes the establish- ment of regional jails through municipal cooperation agreements. You have requested a formal opinion as to whether article 5-G of the General Municipal Law, providing for municipal cooperation agreements, authorizes the establishment of a regional jail. You have described a regional jail as a jail operated jointly by one or more counties. You indicated that the Commission has proposed legislation to authorize regional jails under the premise that article 5-G of the General Municipal Law requires specific statutory provisions for each particular service or facility to be jointly provided or maintained. You have found that the legisla- tive history underlying article 5-G indicates the need for specific implementing legislation. Article 5-G broadly empowers municipal corporations and dis- tricts to enter into agreements for the performance among them- selves or one for the other of their respective functions, powers and duties on a cooperative or contract basis or for the provision of a joint service or a joint water, sewage or drainage project. General Municipal Law §119-o(1). Joint service is defined as the joint provision of any municipal service, activity, etc. or joint exercise of any function or power which each municipality possesses. Id., §1l9-n(c). 1 AG 4-30-91
