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 implementation and use of body scanning machines in the public entrance areas of correctional facilities. This requirement aims to enhance oversight and transparency concerning security measures in these facilities.

The bill does not contain 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 technology. This initiative reflects a growing concern for safety and security in correctional environments, ensuring that legislative bodies are informed about the practices in place.
