Bill > HB0230

This bill, effective May 6, 2026, mandates that county jails, starting July 1, 2026, must assist inmates sentenced to at least six months in obtaining state-issued identification or driver licenses, informing them of the importance of these documents for employment upon release and offering to help them apply for or renew them, unless the inmate is not a U.S. citizen or lawful resident authorized to work. Additionally, substance abuse treatment programs will be required to disclose drug test results to eligible supervision employees (probation or parole officers, or corrections treatment staff) if requested and if the participant has signed a waiver allowing such disclosure, and the bill also makes several technical amendments to existing laws regarding driver license renewals, identification card contents, inmate transition and reentry services, department reporting requirements, and parole conditions, including updates to how drug test results are shared with probation and parole officers and treatment staff.
