Bill > HB1694

This bill modifies the Inmate Welfare Fund Committee by expanding its membership to include the Chairpersons of the House and Senate Corrections Committees and the Chairpersons of the House and Senate Accountability, Efficiency and Transparency Committees as non-voting members, and requires the committee to meet at least once quarterly. The Inmate Welfare Fund is a dedicated account used for the benefit and welfare of inmates, funded by various sources including profits from inmate canteens and a portion of inmate telephone call commissions. The bill also updates the reporting requirements for the fund's expenditures, ensuring that the Chairpersons of the Senate and House Corrections Committees receive the audit reports.
