A 6600: Limits retaliation against incarcerated individuals following the filing of a grievance, by requiring more than the oral or written statement of the subject of a grievance filed by an incarcerated individual for the purposes of finding such incarcerated individual guilty at an evidentiary or disciplinary hearing for misbehavior.
What A 6600 does, verified April 13, 2026
The bill aims to prevent retaliation against incarcerated individuals who file grievances against correctional officers or employees. If an inmate files a grievance and receives a misbehavior report within 180 days, they cannot be found guilty solely based on the statement of the officer or employee who is the subject of the grievance. This protection applies to any officer or employee present at the incident that is the subject of the grievance. The bill takes effect 90 days after it becomes a law.
