Correctional Services - Incarcerated Individuals - Identification Cards, Driver's Licenses, and Birth Certificates

Summary

The bill tells the Commissioner of Correction to check whether long‑term inmates have a birth certificate, Social Security card, driver’s license or state ID when they are taken into custody. It sets rules for safekeeping, renewal, and return of those documents so the inmate has valid identification at release, without delaying the release itself.
