Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill. In the Faith Behind Bars Act, changes definitions of "chaplaincy services" and "undue burden". Provides that a committed person has a right (rather than a constitutional right) to practice his or her faith group in a correctional institution or facility absent or without undue burden to the State's correctional system. Provides that absent harm or undue burden a correctional institution or facility shall provide reading materials for diverse faith groups. Provides in determining whether an action would result in an undue burden, warden or chief administrative officer of the correctional institution or facility shall consider security requirements that are necessary.
