A 6136 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the transfer of incarcerated individuals from a county jail to a state correctional institution

This bill repeals specific rules in the correction law that governed how incarcerated people are moved from county jails to state prisons. It removes these transfer provisions without creating new requirements or affecting other aspects of the correction system. The change directly impacts the administrative process for moving inmates between county and state facilities. As a procedural update, it does not alter eligibility, rights, or funding but simplifies the legal framework for transfers. The bill was recently referred to the Correction committee for review.

MINOR

This bill version adds co-sponsor Gallagher and updates committee referral history.

It also adds a requirement that no other suitable housing be available within the original county or any other county before state transfer can occur beyond 30 days.
