Permitting the secretary of corrections to enter into certain contracts for the production of manufactured or modular homes for a pilot program at the Hutchinson correctional facility under the prison-made goods act.

The bill now authorizes a specific pilot program at the Hutchinson correctional facility rather than broadly prohibiting home building programs.

Private contractors are now required to pay all project costs, including utilities, start-up, training, and administrative expenses.

A new requirement mandates that contractors provide a nationally recognized construction education certification program for participants.

The pilot program is set to expire on December 31, 2029.

The secretary of corrections must submit an annual report to both the Senate Ways and Means Committee and the House Appropriations Committee.

The exemption for the vocational building program was clarified to ensure the new pilot program does not apply to it.

The text regarding regional average rates for rent and wages was moved from subsection (c)(3) to subsection (b)(2) to group it with other general exceptions to the competition clause.

New line numbers and formatting headers were added to align with the House Committee's amendment style.

Specific language requiring a report on program success after participant release was removed from the pilot program section during this specific amendment step.

Removed draft session year (2026) and page number headers that were present in the initial version.

Added official certification text confirming the bill passed the House, Senate, and was approved by the Governor.

Reorganized the layout to match the standard enrolled format used for final legislation.
