Summary
This bill would require the Department of Correction (DOC) to ensure all persons in custody with a pending criminal proceeding have the technology necessary to securely receive and review case evidence via a department-issued tablet or through access provided in the law library. The bill also requires the Board of Correction to produce a report which evaluates the department of correction’s ability to provide technological access to evidence review. The report will include recommendations for improvement and the department of correction must subsequently responde and indicate if it intends to adopt those recommendations.
