Requires DOC to assign transgender inmate to State correctional facility based on inmate's gender identity and use inmate's preferred gender pronoun.

Summary

The bill directs DOC staff to ask inmates about gender identity, expression and preferred pronouns during intake and to assign them to male, female or non‑binary facilities based on that self‑identification. It also mandates that staff, volunteers and contractors always use the inmate’s chosen pronoun, with disciplinary consequences for repeated non‑compliance. The measure aims to standardize housing decisions that are currently handled case‑by‑case.
