This legislative bill, titled the Larry R. Hill Medical Reform Act, aims to improve medical care in correctional facilities across Minnesota. Key amendments proposed include:

1. Establishing comprehensive standards for medical and mental health care in correctional facilities, which detail the processes for mental health screenings, substance abuse treatment, suicide prevention, and medication management.

2. Implementing specific protocols for the administering of medications involuntarily, ensuring compliance with existing medical orders (Jarvis Orders) upon intake, and maintaining continuous medical oversight during an individual's detention.

3. Mandating facility-wide suicide prevention training, timely medication verification, regular health checks, and thorough discharge planning that includes medication provision upon release.

4. Introducing policies for transferring inmates to non-correctional medical facilities if necessary, managing solitary confinement alongside mental health checks, and conducting critical incident reviews.

5. Requiring self-auditing for compliance with standards, clear communication with medical personnel, ongoing staff conduct training, and in-depth reviews following any in-custody deaths.

6. Enforcing reporting obligations for all deaths in custody and defining significant incidents like substantial uses of force or suicide attempts which must be reported to the Commissioner of Corrections.

7. Mandating that correctional facilities provide inmates with their medication as prescribed before incarceration unless a healthcare professional deems it unnecessary or opts for an alternative treatment.

Overall, the bill focuses on enhancing the oversight, accountability, and quality of healthcare provided to individuals in state correctional facilities.
