This bill mandates the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services to construct solid and continuous physical barriers around correctional facilities that are located within one hundred yards of residential property lines. The barriers are intended to reduce noise and visual intrusion, enhance neighborhood safety and privacy, and deter unauthorized contact between inmates, facility visitors, and residents. The bill defines key terms, including "Department" and "Facility," and specifies that the requirements apply to both existing facilities and those constructed or operated after the bill's effective date.

The bill outlines that a facility is classified as Maximum A, Maximum B, or Medium, as defined by the department as of January 1, 2026, or any similar facility established thereafter. This legislative measure aims to address community concerns regarding the proximity of correctional facilities to residential areas by ensuring that appropriate barriers are in place to protect the interests of local residents.
