Bill > S0212

This bill modifies the appointment process for the Secretary of Corrections, requiring the Governor to secure the concurrence of three Cabinet members for the appointment, which is still subject to Senate confirmation, and establishes the Florida Corrections Commission as an independent entity within the Department of Corrections, tasked with overseeing correctional institutions, monitoring violence and contraband, conducting inspections, and making recommendations for system improvements, with its nine members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, and also updates a reporting requirement for the department regarding its community control programs.
