SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Parenting programs; Department of Correctional Education. Authorizes the Department of Correctional Education to arrange for noncustodial parent offenders committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections to be afforded the opportunity to participate in pre-release parenting programs that include parenting skills training and anger management. The programs must be administered by the Department directly or by contract and must include integration with transitional programs and other programs for offenders as appropriate. The individuals may be required to establish, reestablish, or maintain family ties and communications in order to continue to participate in the programs. A pre-release parenting program may be part of an offender's treatment program. The provisions of this bill will not become effective unless an appropriation of general funds effectuating the purposes of the bill is included in the appropriation act and signed into law by the Governor. This measure is identical to HB 792.
