CDCR initially responded in March 2022 that it will review the hours identified in the report and will follow up with the union after our report is published to attempt to locate documentation that may help address the unaccounted for and unapproved hours. CDCR reported in June 2022 that is still reviewing the report to identify if additional supporting documentation is available. It anticipates completing this recommendation by July 31, 2022.
