S 5092 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Provides for the return of any identification materials to an individual upon release from custody

This bill requires correctional facilities to return any identification materials held from incarcerated individuals when they are released from custody. Under the new rules, facility staff must officially record these items upon receipt and ensure they are handed back to the individual or their legal representative immediately upon discharge. The legislation also directs the state commissioner to create specific guidelines for handling and transferring such items when inmates move between different facilities. This change aims to streamline the release process by guaranteeing that personal identification is returned promptly rather than being lost or delayed.
