Requires the use of canines for contraband screening at correctional facilities housing one hundred or more incarcerated individuals

This bill requires all state correctional facilities housing 100 or more inmates to include trained canines in their contraband screening plans specifically for detecting illegal drugs. Facilities must use leashed and controlled canines during screenings, as mandated by an amendment to the correction law. The policy applies immediately to all qualifying facilities, replacing previous screening methods with this canine-based requirement. It directly affects larger correctional facilities by adding a concrete, drug-focused screening mechanism to their security protocols.
