Family Notification of Death, Injury, or Illness in Custody Act of 2025

This bill requires detention agencies (like jails, prisons, and police facilities) to notify family members or emergency contacts when an individual in their custody dies, is seriously injured, or becomes seriously ill. Agencies must collect emergency contact information during intake, provide timely notifications (within 12 hours for death, "as soon as practicable" for serious illness/injury), and include specific details like cause of death or medical condition. It defines "serious illness or injury" to include situations like suicide attempts, terminal diagnoses, or unconsciousness requiring immediate treatment. The bill also mandates compassionate notification methods (trained staff, written follow-up) and gives individuals the right to update contact information or complete medical directives.
