Federal Bureau of Prisons Medical Care Act of 2026

This bill would change federal law on fees charged to federal prisoners for health care. It would replace the current fee rules so that the Director of the Bureau of Prisons could charge a fee only for health care visits caused by an injury one prisoner inflicted on another. That fee would be taken from the account of the prisoner who caused the injury, not the injured prisoner. The bill also removes the existing section on exclusions from fees and related wording elsewhere in the law.
