Correctional Training Commission - Membership - Alterations

This bill alters the membership of Maryland's Correctional Training Commission by increasing the number of correctional officer representatives from four to five. The new structure requires these five appointed members to represent each of the state's five distinct geographic regions, ensuring broader regional input into correctional policy. Additionally, the legislation updates the terms for these regional members to begin staggering on June 1, 2024, and mandates that one of the five representatives be a Department of Juvenile Services employee. The act also clarifies that other commission members may send representatives to meetings instead of attending in person.
