This bill amends section 83-170 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Nebraska Treatment and Corrections Act. The primary change involves redefining the term "person committed to the department," which now specifies that it refers to any individual sentenced or committed to a facility operated by the department, with the deletion of the phrase "within the" from the original text. Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions related to correctional services, including terms such as "restrictive housing" and "solitary confinement."

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision to repeal the original section 83-170, thereby updating the legal framework governing correctional services in Nebraska. The amendments aim to enhance clarity and precision in the definitions used within the Nebraska Treatment and Corrections Act, ensuring that the language reflects current practices and standards in the correctional system.
