AI Summary
This bill amends Maine law to require correctional and detention facilities to respect and acknowledge the consistently held gender identity of incarcerated individuals, regardless of their anatomy or physique. It mandates that housing placements, search practices, access to commissary items, clothing, personal property, programming, and educational materials be consistent with the person's gender identity, except when such accommodations would present significant management or security issues. The bill also requires staff to address incarcerated individuals in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity.
