Establishes quarterly reporting requirement for the Commissioner of Corrections and Community Supervision to obtain updated lists of all elementary and secondary schools, child care providers, preschools, and pre-K/kindergarten facilities from the Commissioner of Education.

Directs the Commissioner of Corrections to distribute facility information to the Board and the Director of Probation and Correctional Alternatives, and to report compliance to the Governor and legislative leaders by February 1 annually.

Takes effect immediately, except provisions amending parole and probation requirements take effect July 1 of the following year.
