Requires female inmates be provided with family planning services prior to release from correctional facility.
This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Corrections to provide family planning services to female inmates at least 10 days before their release from state correctional facilities. It amends existing law (P.L.2009, c.329) to add this requirement as a mandatory provision alongside other reentry support items like medical summaries, medication, and voting information. The bill directly affects female inmates in state prisons, ensuring they receive these services as part of their transition planning. The policy change is a specific addition to the existing "Fair Release and Reentry Act" requirements, with no additional funding or implementation details specified in the text.
