What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, the Department of Corrections must identify whether any

person who is about to be released from prison is currently taking a prescription

medication. If an individual is taking a prescription medication for a condition that

is expected to last at least 12 weeks after the individual's release, DOC must provide

to the individual at the time of his or her release a six-week supply of the medication

and a valid prescription to obtain six weeks worth of medication to be filled at a later

date. If an an individual is taking a prescription medication for a condition that is

expected to last less than 12 weeks after the individual's release, DOC must provide

to the individual at the time of his or her release an appropriate supply of the

medication.
