AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
A package of changes to Utah's criminal justice system aimed at improving outcomes for people leaving incarceration, this bill requires county jails to help inmates sentenced to at least six months obtain or renew a state-issued ID or driver license before release, coordinating virtually with the Driver License Division and covering some costs. It also requires the Department of Corrections to include housing resources in release planning, build a secure digital portal for attorney-client communications once a digital communications program is in place, and report annually on what incentives are offered to inmates and how they're used. Substance abuse treatment programs must share drug test results with supervising probation or parole officers and corrections treatment staff when the participant has signed a required waiver, and the Division of Adult Probation and Parole must track and annually report where parolees are living.
