 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. SALAZAR -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to allowing a telephone
 call prior to an incarcerated individual's transfer

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 23 of the correction law, as
 2 amended by chapter 322 of the laws of 2021, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 1. The commissioner shall have the power to transfer incarcerated
 5 individuals from one correctional facility to another. Whenever the
 6 transfer of incarcerated individuals from one correctional facility to
 7 another shall be ordered by the commissioner, the superintendent of the
 8 facility from which the incarcerated individuals are transferred shall
 9 take immediate steps to make the transfer. The transfer shall be in
 10 accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the department for
 11 the safe delivery of such incarcerated individuals to the designated
 12 facility. [Within] Immediately prior to the transfer, the department
 13 shall electronically notify the incarcerated individual's next of kin or
 14 personal representative of the transfer and the incarcerated individual
 15 shall be allowed to make at least one personal phone call, free of
 16 charge, except under exceptional circumstances when to do so would
 17 create an unacceptable risk to the safety and security of incarcerated
 18 individuals or staff. When a call is not permitted due to exceptional
 19 circumstances, the department shall so indicate in a contemporaneous
 20 written document. Additionally, within twenty-four hours of arriving at
 21 the facility to which an incarcerated individual is transferred, [he or
 22 she] such individual shall be allowed to make at least one personal
 23 phone call, except when to do so would create an unacceptable risk to

 1 the safety and security of incarcerated individuals or staff. If securi-
 2 ty precautions prevent the incarcerated individual from making such
 3 call, a staff member designated by the superintendent of the facility
 4 shall make a call to a person of the incarcerated individual's choice
 5 unless the incarcerated individual declines to have such a call made.
 6 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 7 have become a law.
