Bill > H1015

This bill provides rights for female inmates who have given birth to a newborn child within a month before their arrest or during custody. The key provisions include allowing the inmate to have consistent and extended visitation hours with the newborn, to have physical contact with the newborn, to not be relocated while the child is a newborn, and to determine who has custody of the newborn in the inmate's absence. The bill defines "newborn" as having the same meaning as provided in existing law. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2019.
