The bill proposes a legislative management study focused on health care services in local correctional facilities during the 2025-26 interim. The study aims to comprehensively review various aspects, including current state and federal requirements for health care services in these facilities, funding patterns, challenges faced by local health care providers, best practice models for delivering health care to incarcerated individuals, and potential methods to expand funding sources at local, state, and federal levels.

At the conclusion of the study, the legislative management is required to report its findings and recommendations, along with any necessary legislation to implement these recommendations, to the seventieth legislative assembly. This initiative seeks to enhance the quality and accessibility of health care services for individuals in local correctional facilities.
