AI Summary
This bill, the Cellphone Jamming Reform Act of 2023, would allow state and federal correctional facilities to utilize jamming equipment to prevent, jam, or interfere with wireless communications to and from contraband devices or individuals held in the facility. The bill defines a "jamming system" and specifies that the operation of such a system must be limited to the housing facilities of the correctional facility and, if the facility is a state facility, the state must fund the entire cost of the system. The bill also requires the correctional facility to consult with local law enforcement and other public safety officials before implementing the system and to submit a notification to the Director of the Bureau of Prisons.
