Bill > S07510

This bill requires the commissioner of corrections to create and maintain comprehensive digital records for each incarcerated individual in New York state. These digital records will include a wide range of personal information such as medical records (including mental health records), drug and alcohol test results, work performance evaluations, conduct records, and programming records. The superintendent of each correctional facility will be responsible for transmitting these records to the department, and notably, the bill stipulates that each incarcerated individual will have access to their own digital record. The legislation will take effect 180 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing immediate preparation of necessary regulations. This bill represents a significant step toward improving record-keeping and transparency in the corrections system by creating a centralized, digital approach to documenting an incarcerated individual's comprehensive institutional history.
