Relating to: access to prisons and jails for oversight purposes. (FE)

AB 728 creates a new statute (302.47) requiring immediate access (less than 24 hours' notice) for specific oversight personnel to visit correctional facilities. It directly affects state legislators on relevant committees and county employees overseeing jail operations, granting them access to residential areas, cells, dining areas, and prisoner discussions. Facilities may deny immediate access only between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. (with daytime access within 72 hours) or if the requester has exceeded 12 annual visits. The bill aims to enhance transparency by enabling regular oversight visits without unnecessary delays.
