This bill amends the Corrections Code of 1953 by adding a new section, 7b, which grants legislators the right to inspect any premises controlled by the department at any time, upon request and without prior notice. This provision aims to enhance legislative oversight of correctional facilities and ensure transparency within the department.

The bill defines "legislator" as a member of either the Michigan Senate or House of Representatives, thereby clarifying who is entitled to this inspection privilege. This amendment seeks to empower elected officials to fulfill their responsibilities in monitoring and evaluating the operations of the corrections system effectively.
