Bill > SB6144

This bill aims to improve safety within state juvenile rehabilitation institutions by amending existing laws and repealing others. Specifically, it clarifies the definition of "correctional institution" to ensure it accurately reflects facilities for punishment, correction, or rehabilitation, and it modifies the process for vacating criminal records, particularly for certain offenses like assault and robbery, while also establishing new rules for how the department of corrections handles and refers prison riot behavior to law enforcement. The bill also repeals sections related to resentencing juveniles for prison riot offenses and relief from disposition for such offenses, indicating a shift in how these incidents are managed.
