What it does

This bill would require the Department of Correction (Department) to establish a child visitor program for the purpose of improving the experience of child visitors of Department facilities, and would require annual reporting on the status of the program. The bill would also require the Department to conduct a study and publish a report on the feasibility of implementing tele-visits on weekend days without reducing the number of hours for in person visits on weekend days.
