The bill amends Section 15-22-30.1 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to require the Board of Pardons and Paroles to establish at least one residential transition center specifically designated as a women's facility. The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that one of the residential transition centers must be named the Women's CARE Facility, which will serve as housing for parolees and probationers who are ordered to serve a period of confinement under Sections 15-22-32 or 15-22-54.

This act is set to take effect on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor, or upon its otherwise becoming law. The bill has successfully passed through the Senate, receiving unanimous support with a vote of 29 in favor and none against.
