The proposed bill would update current statutes by appropriating $1,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the recruitment and training of personnel within the state department of corrections. This new funding aims to enhance the capabilities and effectiveness of the department.

Currently, there are no specific appropriations designated for recruitment and training within the state department of corrections, as indicated by the absence of relevant language in the existing statutes. The bill introduces this financial allocation, thereby addressing a gap in resources for the department's workforce development.
