Maddy summaryThis bill aims to improve the health, safety, and human rights of pregnant and postpartum individuals in correctional facilities and their young children. It mandates comprehensive medical care, including prenatal screenings, labor support, mental health services, and privacy protections, while also ensuring access to nutritious food and safe living conditions. Additionally, the legislation establishes a right for children born in these facilities to remain with their parents until the child is eighteen months old, or until the parent is paroled if that occurs sooner, with specific exceptions only for clear and convincing evidence of imminent risk to the child.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires state prisons and detention centers to provide incarcerated individuals with free voice communication services, such as phone calls, without charging them or their families. It explicitly prohibits correctional facilities from earning any revenue from these communications and mandates that in-person visit programs continue to operate alongside these services. The law applies to contracts signed on or after April 1, 2025, and ensures that any existing contracts for these services must end by March 31, 2025.
Maddy summaryThis bill modifies the state workers' compensation law to allow claims for mental injuries caused by extraordinary work-related stress for all workers, not just specific first responders. Under the new rules, the compensation board cannot reject such a claim if it is factually determined that the stress experienced was greater than what typically occurs in a normal work environment. The change expands eligibility beyond police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel to include any employee facing severe workplace stress. The legislation takes effect on the first day of January following its enactment.
