Bill > S06350

This bill requires that correction officers in correctional facilities be identified only by their badge number, removing the requirement to display their full or partial name on identification tags. Specifically, the legislation amends the correction law to prohibit correction officers from being required to wear or display any identification that shows their name, mandating instead that they use only a badge number for identification. This change appears to be aimed at protecting the personal privacy and potentially the safety of correction officers by preventing their names from being readily visible to inmates or the public. The bill would take effect 60 days after becoming law, giving correctional facilities time to update their identification practices and procedures to comply with the new requirement.
