Relates to the removal of incarcerated individuals diagnosed with mental illness to a residential mental health treatment unit

This bill requires New York's Department of Corrections to move incarcerated individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness out of segregated confinement or long-term residential rehab units (where confinement might exceed 30 days) into specialized mental health treatment units. It directly affects people in state prisons diagnosed with serious mental illness under specific legal definitions. The key provision mandates this transfer after consultation with mental health clinicians, while still allowing disciplinary hearings to proceed under existing rules. The law does not alter disciplinary processes but changes where certain mentally ill inmates are housed during their incarceration.
