Establishes yearly requirements for members of the general assembly to visit department of corrections facilities and communicate with inmates
HB 3345 requires members of the state general assembly to complete at least four annual interactions with the prison system. These interactions must either be in-person visits to a corrections facility or direct communication with an inmate to resolve a specific issue at that facility. The bill directly affects state legislators, mandating this engagement as a procedural requirement. It does not change prison policies or inmate rights, but establishes a formal process for legislative oversight. As a procedural bill, it focuses on creating a structured way for lawmakers to connect with correctional facilities.
