Bill > SB00249

This bill establishes a mobile health clinic program designed to improve healthcare services for inmates in correctional institutions. Specifically, the bill requires mobile health clinics to provide specialty medical care to inmates at each correctional facility on a monthly basis. To ensure accountability and transparency, the Commissioner of Correction will be required to submit quarterly reports to the joint standing committees of the General Assembly that oversee public health and judiciary matters. These reports will detail the number of inmates who have received treatment through the mobile health clinics. The primary goal of this legislation is to enhance the quality and accessibility of healthcare services for incarcerated individuals by bringing specialized medical care directly to correctional institutions on a regular basis, which can help address potential healthcare disparities and improve overall inmate health outcomes.
