What This Bill Does
This bill addresses provisions related to correctional facilities.
Key Provisions
This bill:
- amends provisions related to direct supervision;
- amends the criminal offense of unlawful operation of an unmanned aircraft near a correctional facility by prohibiting an individual from removing any item from inside the property of a correctional facility;
- removes unpaid probation and parole supervision fees from an offender's criminal accounts receivable and requires the Department of Corrections to turn any unpaid supervision fees to the Office of State Debt Collection; and
- makes technical and conforming changes.
Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Several changes to correctional facility law are made by this bill. It makes implementing a "direct supervision" model in prisons — where staff interact directly with inmates rather than observing from behind barriers — optional rather than required, and removes the existing requirement that the Department of Corrections publicly report on direct supervision implementation. The bill also expands the crime of unlawfully operating a drone near a correctional facility to include using a drone to remove items from prison property, making that offense a third-degree felony. Finally, the bill removes unpaid probation and parole supervision fees from an offender's official criminal debt record and instead requires the Department of Corrections to hand those unpaid fees over to the Office of State Debt Collection when an offender's sentence ends.
