AN ACT BANNING THE USE OF NUTRALOAF OR A PUNITIVE DIET AS A DISCIPLINARY TOOL IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES.

HB 5091 bans the use of nutraloaf or similar punitive diets as punishment in state correctional facilities. It directly affects incarcerated people, prohibiting this specific disciplinary tactic. The bill requires correctional facilities to provide nutritious and palatable meals to all inmates, and mandates the Commissioner of Correction to ensure this standard is met. This is a concrete policy change focused on meal quality, not speculative outcomes.
