AI Summary
This bill amends the Correction Law to require the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) to provide comprehensive discharge plans for incarcerated persons prior to their release or discharge from a correctional facility. The plans must include planning for the person's mental health, medical care, housing, employment, and substance use disorder services.
