Mandates the department prioritize voluntary facility transfers first and ensure transferred persons can resume similar programming at their new facility.

Requires the department to minimize programming waitlist times, especially where waitlists exceed one year, by increasing virtual and in-person programming opportunities.

Mandates programming remain accessible regardless of security level or sentence length, with alternatives to in-person programming offered without reducing quality or quantity of in-person options.

Directs the department to minimize conflicts with work schedules and ensure timely access to programming for recently transferred or status-changed incarcerated persons.
