SD 3262 - Department of Correction Second Quarter CY24 Corrections Data Report

Overview

Bill Number: SD 3262
Title: Department of Correction Second Quarter CY24 Corrections Data Report
Status: Placed on file
Introduced: October 06, 2025

Purpose and Intent

This proposed bill requires the Department of Correction to submit a comprehensive data report on the state's correctional system for the second quarter of calendar year 2024. The report is intended to provide lawmakers and the public with detailed, up-to-date information on the operations, population, and outcomes within the state's prisons, jails, and other correctional facilities.

Key Provisions

  • Mandates the Department of Correction to prepare and submit a quarterly data report on the state's correctional system
  • Specifies that the report must cover the second quarter of calendar year 2024 (April 1 - June 30, 2024)
  • Requires the report to include detailed statistics and metrics on:
    • Prison and jail populations, including admissions, releases, and average daily populations
    • Demographic breakdowns of the incarcerated population
    • Recidivism rates and trends
    • Staffing levels and turnover at correctional facilities
    • Expenditures and budgets for the Department of Correction
    • Programming, education, and rehabilitation services provided to incarcerated individuals
  • Directs the Department to publish the report on its public website within 60 days of the end of the reporting quarter

Affected Parties and Impacts

This bill would directly impact the operations and reporting requirements of the state's Department of Correction. The detailed data report mandated by the bill is intended to increase transparency and public oversight of the correctional system.

Indirectly, the report's findings could inform policy decisions and reforms related to sentencing, prison programming, staff recruitment and retention, and other aspects of the criminal justice system. Lawmakers, criminal justice advocates, and the general public would all have access to the comprehensive data.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

SD 3262 has been placed on file, meaning it has been introduced in the state legislature but has not yet been scheduled for a committee hearing or floor vote. The bill would need to advance through the normal legislative process, including potential amendments, before being considered for final passage.

If enacted, the Department of Correction would be required to publish the second quarter CY24 data report within 60 days of the end of that reporting period, which would be by August 29, 2024.
