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" by removing the phrase "within the" from the existing legal language. Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions related to correctional services, including terms such as "restrictive housing" and "solitary confinement," which describe specific conditions of inmate 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 context of the state's correctional system.
