Bill overview
This bill expands eligibility for certain inmates to participate in residential community release programs (RCRPs). It allows inmates nearing release (within 30 months) to be considered for RCRPs, particularly if they need substance use disorder treatment. The bill also requires the Department of Corrections to report on RCRP bed availability and prioritize inmate placement before release, while prohibiting returns to correctional facilities or punitive measures based on medical conditions. Finally, it ensures that inmates in RCRPs are not penalized for medical needs.
