Overview
This bill aims to eliminate health care and medication co-payments charged to individuals held in state or county correctional facilities. It prohibits these facilities from charging inmates for medical care, surgery, dental care, hospitalization, treatment, or prescription drugs. Furthermore, it prevents the state or county from seeking reimbursement from inmates for these services and declares any outstanding debts related to these co-payments unenforceable and void. The bill also updates regulations to ensure access to healthcare regardless of insurance coverage.
