relative to inmate illness or emergency.

This bill establishes specific responsibilities for correctional facilities regarding the transfer and medical care of inmates. It mandates that facilities housing prisoners are responsible for arranging and conducting transfers to medical facilities using certified staff, while also requiring them to accept prisoners ordered by courts and provide necessary medical evaluations. Additionally, the legislation ensures that correctional facilities retain custody and security control over inmates even when they are admitted to medical facilities for treatment. The bill would take effect 60 days after its passage but was ultimately not recommended for future legislation during an interim study.
