The bill H. 4967 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 24-3-990, which mandates that state and local detention and correctional facilities provide welfare notices to the family members of inmates upon their request. These welfare notices are required to include information regarding the inmate's physical and mental health, as well as their safety status.

This legislation seeks to enhance communication between correctional facilities and the families of inmates, ensuring that families are informed about the well-being of their loved ones. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
