Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED

Locks inmate welfare fund spending to reintegration and repairs.

Maintenance and repair fees from private prisons must now go into the inmate welfare fund.

The fund can only pay for reintegration programs or environmental health upgrades.

Spending still requires a legislative appropriation, so the legislature controls the money.

This redirects private prison revenue toward specific inmate benefits and facility improvements.
