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. The bill also clarifies various terms related to correctional services, including definitions for "Board," "committed offender," "department," "director," "facility," "good time," "maximum term," "minimum term," "pardon authority," "parole term," "restrictive housing," and "solitary confinement."

Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the original section 83-170, thereby updating the legal framework governing correctional services in Nebraska. The redefined terms aim to enhance clarity and precision in the application of the law, ensuring that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the definitions used within the context of correctional services.
