Relating to the investigation of the death of a prisoner in county jail.

SB 1199 requires that when a prisoner dies in a county jail (excluding deaths from natural causes confirmed by a physician), the state commission must appoint an independent law enforcement agency - distinct from the jail's operating agency - to investigate the death. This applies to all non-natural death cases and aims to prevent conflicts of interest by ensuring investigations are conducted by outside entities. The bill mandates these investigations begin "as soon as possible" after the death is reported. It directly affects county jails, the state commission, and the appointed law enforcement agencies responsible for conducting the reviews. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
