An Act imposing requirements when lands containing certain State correctional institutions are offered for sale; and further providing for duties of the Department of Corrections.

Summary

The bill forces the Department of Corrections to notify the county when a permanently closing prison is put up for sale and offers 2% of the property, free of charge, for affordable housing. Counties that accept must develop a plan and deliver housing within set timelines, or the land returns to the Commonwealth. It aims to turn unused prison land into homes for low‑income residents.
