Summary

The bill orders the Secretary of Public Safety and Correctional Services to adopt regulations that set minimum standards for the care, custody and conditions of civil detainees in immigration detention facilities. It expands the Maryland Commission on Correctional Standards’ duties to receive and act on violation reports, and gives it power to shut down facilities that are life‑threatening or health‑endangering. Health‑care practitioners and security guards must report certain violations, and the Attorney General can sue private operators that break the rules.
