Relates to residential rehabilitation units in correctional facilities

Summary

The bill adds a rule that New York correctional facilities cannot place two inmates together in a residential rehabilitation unit cell unless each inmate explicitly agrees to share. Anyone already in a shared cell without that agreement must be moved to a single‑occupancy cell. The Department of Corrections can create or change rules to enforce this, and the law takes effect 90 days after enactment.
