Requires legislative approval for the closure of correctional facilities and institutions
This bill requires the state correctional department to seek legislative approval before closing any prison or correctional facility. Specifically, the department must submit a detailed justification report to the legislature at least 365 days in advance of any proposed closure. If the legislature determines the closure is unjustified, it can block the closure until both chambers approve it with a majority vote. The law directly affects the department's operational decisions and gives the legislature a formal role in approving facility closures.
