Bill > HB3270

This bill modifies provisions related to visitation in county and municipal jails, detention centers, and holding facilities by establishing specific categories of individuals who are authorized to visit at reasonable times, subject to security and safety regulations. These authorized visitors include high-ranking state officials like the governor and members of the general assembly, local government officials such as county commissioners and mayors, and their duly authorized employees or agents. Additionally, clergy or religious leaders of any recognized faith are granted access to visit confined individuals and administer religious rites, provided they adhere to facility rules for maintaining order and security. The bill clarifies that these provisions do not limit a facility's authority to regulate visitation for safety and security purposes or to deny access to individuals for cause.
