Sponsored by Jennifer Gutiérrez
Introduced: September 12, 2024

This bill would require the Department of Correction (DOC) to establish, operate, and maintain an online scheduling system to facilitate visits to incarcerated individuals. At minimum, this online scheduling system must be accessible by all major operating systems used by wireless communication devices or computers, give the public the ability to select, reserve, and modify dates for jail visits, provide real-time updates when DOC must cancel a scheduled visit, and provide the option for the public to save information to ease the administrative burden of scheduling repeat visits.
