BILL NUMBER:S3282 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the correction law, in relation to the housing of persons nineteen, twenty and twenty-one years of age within the correction department PURPOSE OF BILL: This bill would provide fiscal relief to county correctional facilities that experience capacity problems by providing flexibility to jail administrators in housing inmates who are 19, 20 and 21 years of age. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill would amend Correction Law § 500-b(4) to prohibit local jail administrators from housing persons who are 18 years old and younger with persons who are 22 years old or older, but would allow them to house persons who are 19, 20 or 21 years old with either the older or the younger categories of inmates. It also would make a conforming, technical change to Correction Law § 500-b (13), which allows the State Commission of Correction (SCOC) to issue variances to address emergency overcrowding situations in local jails.
