MINOR
The bill was amended to update its version number and effective dates, reflecting its progression from the first to the second House of Representatives reading. The most significant policy change involves clarifying the definition of 'private, out-of-state correctional institutions' to explicitly include facilities operated for profit, ensuring these entities are subject to the same reduction mandates as public-private partnerships. Additionally, the legislative text was restructured to improve readability by separating the reduction targets for different years into distinct sentences.
Scope change
The scope of the bill was expanded to explicitly include for-profit private correctional institutions outside the state under the reduction mandates, whereas the previous version only mentioned public-private partnerships.
TIMELINE
Updated internal document tracking dates from February 2025 to February 2025, and version numbers from HD1 to HD2.
REQUIREMENT
Reformatted the reduction schedule to clearly separate the 25% reduction target for July 1, 2028, and the 50% reduction target for July 1, 2030.
DEFINITION
Changed the definition of 'private, out-of-state correctional institution' to explicitly include institutions operated for profit, in addition to those under public-private partnerships.
