Bill Summary

Relative to reporting requirements for the Department of Correction regarding the use of solitary confinement for LGBTQI prisoners. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to require the Department of Correction to report bi-annually (rather than annually) on the use of restrictive housing for LGBTQI prisoners, including details on the number of prisoners held in restrictive housing, the length of time they were held, their age, pregnancy status, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The bill also establishes a special commission to study the health and safety of LGBTQI prisoners in correctional facilities, with the commission having access to prisons and the ability to interview prisoners and staff. The commission will gather data on the provision of gender dysphoria and transition-related healthcare, denied requests for alternative housing, and staff training on LGBTQI cultural competency.
