This bill creates a process whereby offenders may be granted leave to attend a funeral. The funeral must be for an immediate family member of the offender, the offender must be escorted by Department of Corrections staff, and the offender must pay for any costs associated with attendance. "Immediate family member" is defined as a spouse, child, sibling, parent, grandparent, grandchild, stepparent, stepchild, stepsibling, or an adoptive relationship.
This bill is similar to HB 956 (2025).
