Lieutenant Osvaldo Albarati Stopping Prison Contraband Act
This bill amends a section of federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1791(b)) to update the legal references regarding prohibited phone possession in prisons. It specifically modifies the code to include a new subsection "(d)(1)(F)" in paragraph (3) and adjusts the list in paragraph (4) to remove outdated references. The change directly affects the enforcement of existing rules about cell phones in federal correctional facilities. This is a technical citation update to the law, not a new policy or rule change.
