DESCRIPTION
This proposal excludes commercially produced tobacco products from those items or substances which people cannot knowingly deliver or conceal in a county jail or correctional facility.
Currently, it is a Class D felony to bring any alkaloid or spiritous or malt liquor into a correctional facility and the definition of alkaloid includes those substances with nicotine.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
