The bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating funds specifically for the state department of corrections. It introduces new language that allocates a sum of money from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027, aimed at providing a salary increase of five percent for both sworn correctional officers and civilian employees within the department.

This new provision will enhance the existing legal framework by ensuring that correctional staff receive a pay raise, thereby potentially improving employee retention and morale. The bill does not delete any existing statutes but rather adds this financial appropriation to support the department's workforce.
