The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 199, mandates that the Commissioner of Correction must report to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly regarding the use of body scanning machines in the public entrance areas of correctional facilities. This requirement aims to provide oversight and transparency concerning the implementation and effectiveness of body scanning technology in these facilities.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that emphasizes the necessity for the Commissioner to provide detailed information on the use of body scanning machines. This initiative reflects a growing concern for security measures in correctional facilities and aims to ensure that the General Assembly is informed about the practices in place to maintain safety at public entrances.
