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. Additionally, it requires the Commissioner of Correction to submit quarterly reports to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly, detailing the number of inmates treated by the mobile health clinics.

The bill introduces new legal language to amend the general statutes, specifically by inserting provisions for the establishment of the mobile health clinic program and the reporting requirements for the Commissioner of Correction. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill. The overall purpose of this legislation is to improve the health care services provided to inmates, ensuring they have access to necessary medical care while incarcerated.
