What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Corrections to establish and maintain on its website an interactive reporting system that is updated every 72 hours and that reports all of the following complaint data for each state correctional institution:

1. The total number of complaints filed in the current calendar year.

2. For every complaint filed, all complaint data, disaggregated, in a format that is searchable by each category of information contained in the complaint and that does not contain any personally identifying information for an inmate or employee of the state correctional institution.

The reporting system must be established within six months of the bill’s passage.
