Visitation to state correctional facilities by certain officials; remove advance notice requirement that is provided to commissioner.

HB 1748 removes a requirement that certain state officials, including the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and legislators, provide advance notice to the Corrections Commissioner before visiting state prisons. The bill eliminates the existing rule that mandated this notification for officials observing prison operations or speaking with inmates. This change simplifies access for these officials to conduct oversight visits without prior scheduling with prison leadership. The bill was introduced but died in committee in 2026, so it did not become law.
