Relating to air conditioning requirements at facilities operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

HB 1315, filed in November 2024 and referred to the Corrections committee, addresses air conditioning requirements at Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) facilities. The bill's title indicates it would establish specific temperature standards for inmate housing or work areas within TDCJ-operated prisons and correctional facilities. However, the actual text of the bill is not currently available in the provided context, so specific requirements (such as minimum temperature thresholds or enforcement mechanisms) cannot be detailed. This bill directly affects TDCJ facilities and the inmates housed within them. As a pending bill in early committee review, it has not yet been enacted into law.
