AL HB226

I notice there's a discrepancy between the title provided and the actual bill content. Based on the document itself, here is the accurate summary:

• Alabama Department of Corrections is authorized to establish a pilot program offering bonuses or educational incentives to correctional officers for remaining employed for consecutive terms.

• The pilot program is designed to increase correctional officer hiring and retention through financial incentives, educational opportunities, or a combination of both.

• Program terms and employment consecutive periods to be established by the department and subject to available funds.

• The program expires on December 31, 2020, unless extended by legislative action.

• The act requires no appropriations but any program funding must come from existing departmental budget allocations.
