The bill requires telecommunication service providers (providers) who provide telecommunication services (services) to jails and other correctional facilities (jails) to maintain data and records (data) related to the services provided to jails. The bill requires providers to submit the data and a report on the services provided to the public utilities commission (commission) on a quarterly basis. The commission is required to publish the data and report on its website in a format accessible by the public.
Current law exempts providers and the services provided from oversight by the commission. The bill grants the commission authority over providers and the services provided.
