DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN AND TRANSITION TO FULL WORK 1 11 PROGRAMMING BY DEPARTMENT. Notwithstanding section 1 of this 1 12 Act, the department of corrections shall not be required to 1 13 fully implement the requirements of section 904.701, until 1 14 July 1, 1997. However, the department shall develop and 1 15 implement a plan in consultation with stateanddepartments 1 16 and independent agencies, local agencies, and members of the 1 17 private sector, which provides for the incremental 1 18 implementation of the hard labor requirements contained in 1 19 section 904.701, for each inmate who is physically and 1 20 mentally able to perform hard labor and does not present an 1 21 unreasonable security status, and who is not currently engaged 1 22 in labor meeting the requirements. The plan shall provide for 1 23 implementation of hard labor work programs during the interval 1 24 of time between the effective date of this Act and July 1, 1 25 1997, with full implementation of the requirements of section 1 26 904.701 by July 1, 1997, and may provide for the performance 1 27 of work by inmates both inside and outside of the institutions 1 28 under the control of the department. The plan shall include a 1 29 procedure for the determination of suitability of an inmate 1 30 for the performance of hard labor and, if an inmate is found 1 31 to be suitable, the placement of the inmate in an appropriate 1 32 hard labor program. In selecting and developing work programs 1 33 which are included within the plan, the department shall 1 34 choose work programs which would require minimal additional 1 35 administrative costs, which minimize the need for additional 2 1 personnel, and which minimize the security risks to the 2 2 general public. The department shall submit a report to the 2 3 general assembly on January 1, 1996, outlining the progress 2 4 made towards implementation of this Act. The department shall 2 5 also file a copy of the completed plan with the general 2 6 assembly on January 1, 1997. 2 7 EXPLANATION 2 8 This bill requires the department of corrections and the 2 9 other state agencies and departments to work together to 2 10 employ the inmates under the hard labor program, which is 2 11 required by 1995 legislation to be fully implemented by July 2 12 1, 1997. 2 13 LSB 3175SC 76 2 14 jls/cf/24
