SB1321 amends the Hawaii Correctional System Oversight Commission by changing the oversight coordinator's term from two years to four years. The governor will appoint the oversight coordinator from a list of three nominees submitted by the commission. The oversight coordinator must be qualified by training and experience, well-versed in criminal justice reform, and committed to the correctional system's transition to a rehabilitative and therapeutic model. The coordinator can make inquiries, inspect premises, and hold private hearings during investigations.
