CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 434 - Currently, the chief administrative officer of a correctional center may create and operate a canteen or commissary for the use and benefit of the offenders with the approval with the division director. Under this act, the director of the Department of Corrections must approve the creation and operation of any canteen or commissary.
The currently existing Inmate Canteen Fund shall be established in the state treasury. This fund shall consist of funds received from inmate canteens located in correctional facilities.
