Senate Bill No. 1328, also known as Public Act No. 25-32, establishes that the responsibility for the custody and supervision of individuals detained in state correctional facilities, community correctional centers, or community reintegration centers will solely rest with the Commissioner of Correction and their employees. This bill explicitly prohibits the private ownership, operation, or management of any state correctional facilities or related centers, ensuring that these institutions remain under public control.

The bill includes specific exemptions, stating that the prohibition does not apply to correctional facilities or centers owned, operated, or managed by the federal government, nor does it affect community-based service programs as defined in existing statutes. The new legal language introduced in this bill emphasizes the shift towards public management of correctional facilities, while the deletion of any previous provisions allowing private management is implied by the new restrictions. The law is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
