AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah's Legislature sends this formal message to Congress asking for action on two fronts: supporting people leaving prison and improving prison security. On the reentry side, the resolution calls on Congress to pass the 2025 Second Chance Reauthorization Act and restore its funding, which provides grants to states for programs helping formerly incarcerated people access housing, education, and health care — and it encourages Congress to support policies that give incarcerated individuals access to affordable health care before their release. On the security side, it urges Congress to pass the 2025 Cell Phone Jamming Reform Act to block contraband phones inside prisons, criminalize flying drones over correctional facilities, and allow a pilot program letting law enforcement and corrections agencies counter drones flying over critical infrastructure.
