Relating to program accessibility for female inmates of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

HB 4620 requires the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to develop policies increasing access to specific programs for female inmates. It mandates that facilities make available programs like parenting, trauma healing, and financial literacy resources within 45 days of an inmate's arrival, regardless of offense or background. The bill also prohibits reducing male inmates' access to programs to meet these requirements and requires annual reports to the legislature detailing implemented policies and available programs. The TDCJ must implement these changes by September 1, 2025, with reports published online. This bill directly affects all female inmates in TDCJ custody, including those in state jail facilities.
