House Bill 35, introduced by Delegate Cole and presented in committee by Delegate Rasul, would limit the use of restorative housing and isolated confinement and add statutory restrictions on when that confinement may be used.
The subcommittee recommended reporting and referral by a 5-to-2 vote. At full committee, Delegate Rasul moved to report and refer the bill to the Appropriations Committee; with no committee members requesting to be heard, the clerk opened and closed the roll and the bill was recorded as referred to Appropriations by a vote of 13 to 5.
The referral to Appropriations means the bill will receive fiscal review before further floor action.
