State officials would set regulations for when body imaging scanning equipment would be used to screen visitors at local and state correctional facilities, detention facilities and at facilities for youth overseen by the Office of Children and Family Services under a provision proposed by Gov. Kathy Hochul. 

The plan, tucked into Hochul's $227 billion budget plan, would have a commission composed of officials from the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision as well as the Office of Children and Family Services develop the regulations for when and how the devices would be used. 

Hochul's proposal comes as corrections officers in New York have pointed to a rise in violence in state prisons over the last year. 

If body scanning devices are deployed in correctional facilities, an annual report on how the devices are used would be submitted to top officials in the state Legislature. The report would detail the number of times equipment was used on people in prison, people visiting a prison as well as any event that triggers the use of the equipment as such as the suspicion of contraband.
