The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 249, aims to establish a mobile health clinic program within correctional institutions to enhance the healthcare services available to inmates. The bill mandates the provision of specialty care to inmates on a monthly basis through these mobile health clinics. This initiative is designed to address the healthcare needs of incarcerated individuals more effectively.

Additionally, the bill requires the Commissioner of Correction to provide quarterly reports to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly, specifically those overseeing public health and the judiciary. These reports will detail the number of inmates treated by the mobile health clinics, ensuring transparency and accountability in the implementation of the program. The bill introduces new provisions to current law without any deletions.
