Relates to health facilities and services in correctional facilities

This bill amends New York's Public Health Law to establish new standards for health care in correctional facilities. It defines "correctional health care facility" as any part of a prison or jail providing health services under correctional authority, and requires the health commissioner to create regulations for these facilities' operation, construction, and standards. The bill mandates annual reviews of health care policies in correctional settings - specifically for HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, and COVID-19 care - to ensure they meet medical standards, with public notice and transparency about findings. These changes directly affect incarcerated individuals, correctional facilities, and health care providers operating within jails and prisons.
