S 5009 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

This bill requires all correctional facilities housing 100 or more incarcerated individuals to include leashed and controlled canines trained to detect illegal drugs in their contraband screening plans. The law mandates that facilities establish a formal screening program incorporating canine detection as a standard procedure. This directly affects large state correctional facilities, requiring them to implement this specific security measure for drug interdiction. The provision applies immediately upon enactment and is part of a broader requirement for facility-wide contraband screening protocols.
