What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law provides a number of restrictions on the manner in which strip searches and body cavity searches may be conducted. Those restrictions do not apply to certain searches of certain persons, such as a search of a person serving a sentence, pursuant to a conviction, in a jail, state prison, or house of correction. This bill provides an additional exception so that the restrictions on strip searches and body cavity searches do not apply to a search of a person who is found or alleged to have violated a condition of probation.
