AN ACT ESTABLISHING SAFE STAFFING COMMITTEES FOR EACH CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.

HB 6515 requires each adult and youth correctional facility in the state to establish a Safe Staffing Committee. These committees, composed of facility staff with specific roles (including wardens, experienced officers, nurses, counselors, and union representatives), must develop safe staffing standards and officer post requirements for each shift. The committees must create these standards to meet facility needs while promoting safety and positive outcomes, then report them to the relevant legislative committee. This bill directly affects all correctional facilities and their operational staffing policies.
