Prisoners less than 18 years of age who have serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, or a serious developmental disorder shall not be removed from an existing placement as a punitive response to behavior caused by their serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, or a serious developmental disorder. Due to persistent high violence risk or severe disruptive behavior that is unresponsive to treatment, prisoners less than 18 years of age with serious emotional disturbance, serious mental illness, or serious developmental disorders may be placed in secure residential housing programs that will facilitate access to institutional programming and ongoing mental health services. A prisoner less than 18 years of age with serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, or a serious developmental disorder who is confined in these specialized housing programs shall be evaluated or monitored by a medical professional at a frequency of not less than every 12 hours.
(c) Implement a specialized reentry program that recognizes the needs of prisoners less than 18 years old for supervised reentry.
Sec. 937. The department shall not issue a request for proposal (RFP) for a contract in excess of $5,000,000.00, unless the department has first considered issuing a request for information (RFI) or a request for qualification (RFQ) relative to that contract to better enable the department to learn more about the market for the products or services that are the subject of the future RFP. The department shall notify the department of technology, management, and budget of the evaluation process used to determine if an RFI or RFQ was not necessary prior to issuing the RFP.
Sec. 940. (1) Any lease, rental, contract, or other legal agreement that includes a provision allowing a private person or entity to use state-owned facilities or other property to conduct a for-profit business enterprise shall require the lessee to pay fair market value for the use of the state-owned property.
(2) The lease, rental, contract, or other legal agreement shall also require the party using the property to make a payment in lieu of taxes to the local jurisdictions that would otherwise receive property tax revenue, as if the property were not owned by the state.
Sec. 942. The department shall ensure that any contract with a public or private party to operate a facility to house state prisoners includes a provision to allow access by both the office of the legislative auditor general and the office of the legislative corrections ombudsman to the facility and to appropriate records and documents related to the operation of the facility. These access rights for both offices shall be the same for the contracted facility as for a general state-operated correctional facility.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Sec. 1000. From the funds appropriated in part 1 for information technology services and projects, the department shall expand bandwidth in 27 correctional facilities and 113 field operations offices. The purpose of this bandwidth expansion is to support critical information technology systems that provide platforms for several mandated programs and department cost savings efforts.
MISCELLANEOUS
Sec. 1009. The department shall make an information packet for the families of incoming prisoners available on the department’s website. The information packet shall be updated by February 1 of each year. The packet shall provide information on topics including, but not limited to: how to put money into prisoner accounts, how to make phone calls or create Jpay email accounts, how to visit in person, proper procedures for filing complaints or grievances, the rights of prisoners to physical and mental health care, how to utilize the offender tracking information system (OTIS), truth-in-sentencing and how it applies to minimum sentences, the parole process, and guidance on the importance of the role of families in the reentry process. The department is encouraged to partner with external advocacy groups and actual families of prisoners in the packet-writing process to ensure that the information is useful and complete.
Sec. 1011. The department may accept in-kind services and equipment donations to facilitate the addition of a cable network that provides programming that will address the religious needs of incarcerated individuals. This network may be a cable television network that presently reaches the majority of households in the United States. A bilingual channel affiliated with this network may also be added to department programming to assist the religious needs of Spanish-speaking inmates. The addition of these channels shall be at no additional cost to this state.
ONE-TIME APPROPRIATIONS
Sec. 1100. From the funds appropriated in part 1 for new custody staff training, the department shall increase the training capacity for new custody staff by 350 officers. The purpose of this academy is to address higher than normal attrition of correction officers and to decrease overtime costs.

(1) Subject to section 242 of the management and budget act, 1984 PA 431, MCL 18.1242, and upon the approval of the state building authority, the department of treasury may expend from the general fund of the state during the fiscal year an amount to meet the cash flow requirements of those state building authority projects solely for lease to a state agency identified in both part 1 and this section, and for which state building authority bonds or notes have not been issued, and for the sole acquisition by the state building authority of equipment and furnishings for lease to a state agency as permitted by 1964 PA 183, MCL 830.411 to 830.425, for which the issuance of bonds or notes is authorized by a legislative appropriation act that is effective for the immediately preceding fiscal year. Any general fund advances for which state building authority bonds have not been issued shall bear an interest cost to the state building authority at a rate not to exceed that earned by the state treasurer’s common cash fund during the period in which the advances are outstanding and are repaid to the general fund of the state.
(2) Upon sale of bonds or notes for the projects identified in part 1 or for equipment as authorized by a legislative appropriation act and in this section, the state building authority shall credit the general fund of the state an amount equal to that expended from the general fund plus interest, if any, as defined in this section.
(3) For state building authority projects for which bonds or notes have been issued and upon the request of the state building authority, the state treasurer shall make advances without interest from the general fund as necessary to meet cash flow requirements for the projects, which advances shall be reimbursed by the state building authority when the investments earmarked for the financing of the projects mature.
(4) In the event that a project identified in part 1 is terminated after final design is complete, advances made on behalf of the state building authority for the costs of final design shall be repaid to the general fund in a manner recommended by the director.
Sec. 1102. (1) State building authority funding to finance construction or renovation of a facility that collects revenue in excess of money required for the operation of that facility shall not be released to a university or community college unless the institution agrees to reimburse that excess revenue to the state building authority. The excess revenue shall be credited to the general fund to offset rent obligations associated with the retirement of bonds issued for that facility. The auditor general shall annually identify and present an audit of those facilities that are subject to this section. Costs associated with the administration of the audit shall be charged against money recovered pursuant to this section.
(2) As used in this section, “revenue” includes state appropriations, facility opening money, other state aid, indirect cost reimbursement, and other revenue generated by the activities of the facility.
Sec. 1103. The state building authority shall provide to the JCOS and senate and house fiscal agencies a report relative to the status of construction projects associated with state building authority bonds as of September 30 of each year, on or before October 15, or not more than 30 days after a refinancing or restructuring bond issue is sold. The report shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
(a) A list of all completed construction projects for which state building authority bonds have been sold, and which bonds are currently active.
(b) A list of all projects under construction for which sale of state building authority bonds is pending.
(c) A list of all projects authorized for construction or identified in an appropriations act for which approval of schematic/preliminary plans or total authorized cost is pending that have state building authority bonds identified as a source of financing.
