Prevents retaliation against incarcerated individuals by requiring more than just the statement of the accused officer for disciplinary hearings.

This bill amends the correction law to ensure that incarcerated individuals cannot be found guilty of misbehavior based solely on the oral or written statement of the officer or employee they have filed a grievance against. It mandates that more evidence be presented at an evidentiary or disciplinary hearing. This change aims to protect incarcerated individuals from potential retaliation following the filing of a grievance.
