Bill > LB1216

This bill amends the Nebraska Treatment and Corrections Act to mandate the provision of educational services and programming for prisoners under twenty-one years of age who have not yet earned a high school diploma or its equivalent, ensuring these services meet minimum standards set by the State Department of Education, including core subjects like language arts, social science, science, and mathematics, and potentially vocational training and other subjects, which can be delivered by the department or through partnerships with educational institutions, while also requiring special education services as mandated by law and allowing the State Board of Education to establish rules and regulations for these programs.
