Summary

The bill would set aside $250 million each year from the state’s general revenue for correctional facility capital projects and allow the state to issue bonds to finance a new 4,800‑bed prison and a 600‑bed hospital unit. It directs the Department of Corrections to begin planning and design, to use construction‑management firms for projects over $5 million, and to form an oversight committee to monitor spending. The measure aims to replace aging prisons and improve inmate medical care, but it did not pass.
