THE PRELIMINARY TEXT OF THE PROPOSED RULE DEVELOPMENT IS:
33-603.101 Use of Committed Name.
(1)(a) In order to avoid conflicts in mailing and visiting privileges, as well as to assist inmates in making bank and canteen transactions and ensure timely delivery of legal documents, and to provide staff with a consistent means of inmate identification for security and daily institutional operation purposes, each inmate shall be recognized by the department under the name on the initial commitment under which the inmate was received. The committed name shall be obtained from the information or indictment page of the commitment package, not from the uniform commitment to custody cover sheet. For multiple cases imposed on separate dates, the committed name is the name on the information page of the commitment of the earliest imposed case. For multiple cases imposed on the same date, commitments are arranged according to service of the sentences or sequential order as directed by the sentencing court and the committed name is the name on the information page of the first imposed case as so designated. For multiple cases imposed on the same date where the order of sentencing cannot be determined, the cases are arranged numerically and the committed name is the name on the information page of the commitment with the lowest case number. For multiple cases imposed on the same date, the committed name is the name listed on the earliest chronological case. This name shall be the inmate's official identification throughout the continuous incarceration of the inmate on that sentence or combined sentences and must be included on any official document sent or received by the inmate except as provided in subsection (3) below.
(b) through (d) No change.
(2) through (4) No change.
