The resolution proposes an interim study by the Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature to investigate the use of restrictive housing and solitary confinement in the state's correctional facilities, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations and adherence to existing state laws. The study aims to review current statutes, regulations, and departmental policies related to these practices, evaluate the circumstances under which vulnerable individuals are placed in restrictive housing, assess compliance with previous legislative reforms, and explore potential benefits of proposed reforms and evidence-based practices.

To conduct this study, the Judiciary Committee will collaborate with various stakeholders, including the Department of Correctional Services, advocacy groups, public health experts, and individuals impacted by the system. Upon completion of the study, the committee is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, aiming to enhance safety and align practices with evidence-based standards.
