Modifies provisions relating to county and municipal jail visitation
HB 3270 modifies visitation rules for county and municipal jails by specifying which individuals may enter without special permission. It authorizes government officials (governor, legislators, judges, state auditors), local officials (county commissions, mayors, city council members), and clergy to visit at "reasonable times," subject to facility security rules. The bill explicitly grants clergy access to provide religious rites upon request, while maintaining that facilities may deny access for safety or security reasons. It does not create new rights but formalizes existing access for these defined groups.
