Bill > SB905

This bill modifies provisions relating to the protection of vulnerable persons. It exempts individuals convicted of felony drug offenses from being ineligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) if they meet certain criteria, such as successfully completing or participating in a substance abuse treatment program. The bill also restricts the use of restraints on pregnant offenders and requires jails to develop specific procedures for the intake and care of pregnant offenders, including providing access to medical and mental health services. Additionally, the bill expands the admissibility of statements made by children under 18 or "vulnerable persons" in certain criminal proceedings.
