Bill > HB944

This bill requires various juvenile facilities, including those operated by or contracted by the department of youth services, secure facilities, detention centers, community corrections facilities, juvenile correctional facilities, and community residential programs, to develop and maintain policies regarding health care and education, which must include minimum standards for accessing these services. These facilities will also need to regularly review and update these policies, and importantly, make them publicly accessible on their respective websites, as well as provide paper copies upon request. This measure aims to increase transparency and ensure that juveniles in these facilities have access to essential health and educational services.
