Chair Brooks-Powers explains fund transfers between correctional facilities under Int. 246-A
Brooks-Powers says the bill addresses transfers of institutional funds when an incarcerated individual moves to another facility that maintains such funds. Before transfer, the individual would receive written information on how their funds can be moved to the receiving facility.
The legislation also addresses the transfer of institutional funds when an incarcerated individual is transferred to another correctional facility that maintains institutional funds.
Before such a transfer, the individual would receive written information about how their funds can be transferred to the receiving facility.
These provisions would provide clearer and more accessible procedures for individuals to recover money that remains in their accounts when they leave the Department of
correction custody.
