SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Department of Corrections; physical examination of prisoner; ability to work. Requires the Department to medically examine each prisoner within 30 days prior to a work assignment in food services, medical services, or cosmetological services, and within 30 days prior to a change in work assignment. The bill urges consideration of public health, but only allows the Department to limit a prisoner's work and housing assignments if disease transmission is possible despite certain controls, personal protective equipment, or precautionary measures.
