AB 1739, as introduced, Bryan. State prisons: insurance.

Existing law establishes the state prisons under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Existing law authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to insure products produced at any prison or institution under the secretary’s jurisdiction, and all materials and equipment necessary to make those products, against risk of loss.
