AB 2593: Corrections: treatment of prisoners.
What AB 2593 does, verified August 25, 2026
This bill aims to protect the health and well-being of incarcerated individuals. It prohibits supervisors, administrators, and employees from interfering with prescribed health care that results in substantial emotional distress or serious bodily injury. Existing laws already require the department of corrections rehabilitation to provide care that prevents harm to an incarcerated person's health, but this bill adds a specific protection against interference with prescribed health care.
