AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A GARDEN AT YORK CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION.

SB 649 authorizes up to $50,000 in state bonds to fund a garden at York Correctional Institution, directly benefiting inmates by providing fresh produce grown on-site. The bill directs the Department of Correction to use bond proceeds for establishing and maintaining the garden, with no other stated purposes. Key provisions include empowering the State Bond Commission to issue the bonds under existing law and limiting the total funding to $50,000. This is a straightforward funding measure focused on creating a practical facility for inmate nutrition, with no additional policy changes or broader implications outlined.
