Committee on Criminal Justice

Thursday, January 30, 2025 · 10:00 AM AM · Council Chambers - City Hall

TL;DR

The Criminal Justice Committee held hearings on two main topics: oversight of contracted jail services and a proposed law requiring commissary funds be returned to incarcerated people when they're released. The committee discussed these issues but did not pass the commissary refund law, instead postponing it for further consideration.

Key Decisions
