What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Corrections to close the Type 1 juvenile

correctional facilities currently known as the Lincoln Hills School for boys and

Copper Lake School for girls and report to the Joint Committee on Finance on the

feasibility of converting these facilities to a correctional treatment facility for adults

in the earned release program. If JCF finds that the conversion is feasible, DOC is

required to submit plans for the conversion to the Building Commission for approval.

The bill also requires DOC to establish and operate between six and ten regional

Type 1 juvenile correctional facilities in the state.

Votes

Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
