AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would limit the prices charged for items sold in commissaries at immigration detention facilities. Essential items, such as soap, toothpaste, menstrual products, diapers, and stamps, could be marked up no more than 5 percent above what was paid to the vendor, and other items no more than 35 percent. The bill would ban extra transaction fees, kickbacks, and revenue sharing for commissary services. Detained people who were overcharged would get refunds, and overcharges that cannot be refunded would go into a Detainee Welfare Fund. The Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would report to Congress every 90 days, and the Homeland Security Inspector General would audit compliance.
