Bill > H3268

This bill permits the transfer of terminally ill or permanently incapacitated inmates to receive medically appropriate care at an alternative location, such as a hospital, nursing facility, hospice program, or residential care facility. The Commissioner of the Department of Correction or a Sheriff can petition a court to allow such a transfer, as long as it is not inconsistent with public safety. The Commissioner or Sheriff must monitor the transferred inmate and can order their return to the correctional facility if the inmate's condition improves or if care outside the facility is no longer deemed medically appropriate.
