The resolution proposes an interim study to assess job opportunities for individuals incarcerated in facilities managed by the Department of Correctional Services. The study aims to evaluate the current employment landscape, identify gaps, and align policies with evidence-based practices. Key areas of focus will include analyzing employment data, examining disparities based on facility, race, age, and gender, reviewing compensation for positions, exploring potential additional employment opportunities, and assessing contracts with external entities that benefit from incarcerated labor.

The Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study and will consult various stakeholders to ensure a comprehensive approach. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, thereby informing future legislative efforts related to employment for incarcerated individuals.
