AI Summary

This bill amends existing law concerning community corrections programs administered by the Office of Community Corrections, specifically by adding to the definition of who can be included in these programs. The change inserts the phrase ", including any inmate or detainee awaiting trial while held in custody at a county correctional facility," after the word "offender" in the first sentence of section 3(a) of chapter 211F. This means that individuals who are incarcerated and awaiting trial in a county jail or detention center will now be explicitly included within the scope of individuals eligible for community corrections programs, which are designed to provide alternatives to traditional incarceration and support rehabilitation.
