     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  1  of  section 146 of the correction law, as

     3  follows:
     4    1.  The following persons shall be authorized to visit at pleasure all
     5  correctional facilities: The governor and  lieutenant-governor,  commis-
     6  sioner  of  general services, secretary of state, comptroller and attor-
     7  ney-general, members of the commission of  correction,  members  of  the
     8  legislature and their accompanying staff and any employee of the depart-
     9  ment  as  requested  by  the  member  of  the  legislature if the member
    10  requests to be so accompanied,  provided  that  such  request  does  not
    11  impact  upon  the  department's ability to supervise, manage and control
    12  its facilities as determined by the commissioner, judges of the court of
    13  appeals, supreme court and county judges, district attorneys  and  every
    14  clergyman  or  minister, as such terms are defined in section two of the

    19  lations  as  the  commissioner  shall prescribe. [The provisions of this
    20  section shall not apply to such portion of a  correctional  facility  in
    21  which inmates under sentence of death are confined.]
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
