New York S04422 mandates the use of body scanners for visitors and incarcerated individuals in correctional facilities.

New York S04422 amends the correction law to require all visitors and incarcerated individuals to be scanned by body imaging equipment in correctional facilities. Regulations will establish when and how these scans are conducted, including alternative screening methods for those unable or declining to be scanned for medical reasons. The bill ensures no harassment or disciplinary action for choosing alternative screening methods, except when security considerations apply.
