This bill would change state law to allow local jails and detention facilities to be built with fewer than 150 beds, as long as certain conditions are met. Currently, the law sets 150 beds as a minimum requirement for new local correctional facility construction. This change could give counties more flexibility when planning and building jail facilities. Who it may affect: county governments and local officials planning or funding jail construction.
