Establishes provisions relating to visitors to jails or detention facilities in a city not within a county
HB 3380, titled the "No More Jail Deaths Act," establishes rules for visitor access to jails in cities not located within a county. It automatically allows specific officials (like city leaders, state officers, judges, and clergy) to enter these facilities at any time, while requiring all other visitors to get permission from the jail’s chief administrator. Cities must create or update visitor rules by March 1, 2027, to comply with the law. The bill directly affects city-operated jails in non-county cities and their visitors, focusing on structured access without changing jail operations.
