Relating to the purchase and installation of climate control systems at facilities operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

HB 3006 requires the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to install climate control systems in specific areas of its facilities - including housing, medical treatment areas, dining spaces, and inmate hygiene zones - to maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. The law mandates a phased implementation over eight years (phases ending in 2028, 2030, and 2032), with each phase costing no more than $100 million, using competitive bidding for contractors. TDCJ must prioritize efficient use of state funds when selecting systems and contractors. This bill directly affects inmates, staff, and visitors at all TDCJ facilities requiring new or upgraded climate systems.
