Sec. 511.0086.  RISK-BASED INSPECTIONS.  (a)  The commission shall adopt a policy prioritizing the inspection of jails under the commission's jurisdiction based on the relative risk level of a jail.  The policy must require the commission to use the risk assessment plan established under Section 511.0085 to:
(1)  schedule announced and unannounced inspections of jails under the commission's jurisdiction; and
(2)  determine how frequently and intensively the commission conducts risk-based inspections.
(b)  The policy may provide for the commission to use alternative inspection methods for jails determined to be low-risk, including using abbreviated inspection procedures or other methods instead of conducting an in-person inspection.
