HI HB1130

Appropriates general revenue funds to the Department of Public Safety for fiscal year 2023-2024 to administer level I trauma-informed certification programs for adult corrections officers statewide (specific amount not specified in bill text).

Requires certification program to include three courses, with a basic trauma-informed care course for adult corrections officers, particularly those assigned to the women's community correctional facility.

Bases the trauma-informed care course on an existing program at Windward Community College for mental health technicians at Hawaii State Hospital.

Finds that trauma-informed training helps corrections professionals better assess and engage individuals with trauma histories, leading to improved rehabilitation outcomes and reduced recidivism and disciplinary infractions.

Effective date: June 30, 3000 (appears to be a drafting error; likely intended as June 30, 2023 or 2024).
