jail standards;
! Provide the oversight committee with recommendations for
revising jail standards and ways to address jail needs

fund the activities of the advisory committee.
The bill requires the attorney general to conduct assessments of
jails, in conjunction with the advisory committee, for compliance with jail
standards. The attorney general may also conduct an independent special

committee, or a sheriff. The attorney general shall prepare a report of
each special assessment.
The advisory committee shall annually submit a report to the
oversight committee.
