Establishes a third-party vendor program to send certain packages to incarcerated individuals
This bill creates a program requiring correctional facilities to use up to 10 approved third-party vendors for delivering most packages to incarcerated individuals, replacing current methods. It directly affects people in state correctional facilities and the facilities themselves, as they must now use these vendors for non-mail items like food, clothing, or personal products. The law excludes regular postal mail (letters, cards) sent via U.S. First-Class mail from this requirement. The commissioner must establish the program and create necessary rules, but the bill itself only mandates the vendor system without changing broader policies. This is a procedural change focused on package delivery security, not a substantive policy shift.
