What this bill does

Excludes facilities operated by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) from the definition of "correctional institution" for purposes of the Prison Riot offense and applies that change retroactively. Creates a process for individuals who were adjudicated or convicted of Prison Riot offenses while in a DCYF institution to vacate those convictions or adjudications and seek resentencing if that offense formed the basis for the person's sentence or disposition.
