Correctional Facilities Financing and Capital Improvements

Summary

The bill sets aside $250 million each year from fiscal 2026‑2027 through 2066‑2067 for correctional facility capital projects and lets the state issue bonds to finance a new 4,800‑bed prison and a 600‑bed hospital unit. It requires the Department of Corrections to start planning and design, to hire construction managers for projects over $5 million, and to recommend closing outdated facilities. An oversight committee made up of legislators and agency representatives will monitor how the money and bond proceeds are spent.
