AI Summary

The bill also modifies the drug and alcohol abuse civil commitment mechanism and requires the State Criminal Sentencing Commission to study the impact of these changes. Additionally, the bill prohibits restraining or confining a pregnant woman or postpartum woman who is a charged, convicted, or adjudicated criminal offender or delinquent child at certain points during pregnancy or postpartum recovery, except in limited circumstances.
