BILL NUMBER: S8612 SPONSOR: SALAZAR TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the correction law, in relation to the establishment of decarceration emergency management plans to be developed for use in the event of a state disaster emergency declared pursuant to executive order PURPOSE OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to protect incarcerated individuals, correc- tional staff, and surrounding communities from preventable consequences of public health or disaster emergencies. When COVID-19 hit New York, our correctional system was ill-prepared. The result was a higher level of risk, harm, and loss than would have occurred had disaster management plans been in effect. This bill requires a thoughtful and deliberate process for the creation of such plans for each correctional facility. This bill will save lives. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
