MINOR
This bill was amended to add two new sponsors and significantly expand the facilities where body scanners can be used. The changes allow scanners in secure mental health treatment centers and forensic psychiatric centers, in addition to existing correctional facilities. The bill also clarifies that the State Commission of Correction must consult with the Department of Corrections when setting new regulations.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to include specific types of mental health and forensic facilities that were previously excluded.
SCOPE

Added new sponsors Harckham and Jackson to the list of bill authors.

Expanded eligibility to include 'secure treatment facilities' operated by the Office of Mental Health and 'forensic psychiatric centers' in addition to standard correctional and developmental disability facilities.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the regulatory requirement so the State Commission of Correction must now consult with the Department of Corrections when creating scanning rules, rather than acting alone.
