 AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to providing vocational
 training to incarcerated individuals on the installation of solar hot
 water systems for the provision of hot water to correctional facili-
 ties

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 137 of the correction law, as
 2 amended by chapter 322 of the laws of 2021, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 4. Whenever there shall be a sufficient number of cells or rooms in a
 5 correctional facility, each incarcerated individual shall be given
 6 sleeping accommodations in a separate cell or room, provided, however,
 7 that nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to limit the
 8 right of the department to utilize dormitory-type accommodations where
 9 necessary or where appropriate to a program of treatment. To the extent
 10 practicable, such cells, rooms and dormitories shall be plumbed to
 11 provide incarcerated individuals hot water.
 12 § 2. Subdivision 2 of section 171 of the correction law, as amended by
 13 chapter 364 of the laws of 1983, is amended to read as follows:
 14 2. Such labor shall be either for the purpose of the production of
 15 supplies for said institutions, or for the state, or any political
 16 subdivision thereof, or for any public institution owned or managed and
 17 controlled by the state, or any political subdivision thereof; or for
 18 the purpose of industrial training and instruction, or partly for one,
 19 and partly for the other of such purposes. Where practicable, incarcer-
 20 ated individuals shall be provided vocational training to install solar
 21 hot water systems to provide hot water to cells, rooms and dormitories
