Public Act 100-0999 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Crime Reduction Act of 2009 is | ||||
amended by changing Sections 5 and 20 as follows: | ||||
(730 ILCS 190/5)
| ||||
Sec. 5. Purpose and Definitions. | ||||
(a) Purpose. The General Assembly hereby declares that it | ||||
is the policy of Illinois to preserve public safety, reduce | ||||
crime, and make the most effective use of correctional | ||||
resources. Currently, the Illinois correctional system | ||||
overwhelmingly incarcerates people whose time in prison does | ||||
not result in improved behavior and who return to Illinois | ||||
communities in less than one year. It is therefore the purpose | ||||
of this Act to create an infrastructure to provide effective | ||||
resources and services to incarcerated individuals and | ||||
individuals supervised in the locality; to hold offenders | ||||
accountable; to successfully rehabilitate offenders to prevent | ||||
future involvement with the criminal justice system; to measure | ||||
the overall effectiveness of the criminal justice system in | ||||
achieving this policy; and to create the Adult Redeploy | ||||
Illinois program for those who do not fall under the definition | ||||
of violent offenders . |
(b) Definitions. As used in this Act, unless the context | ||
clearly requires otherwise: | ||
(1) "Assets" are an offender's qualities or resources, | ||
such as family and other positive support systems, | ||
educational achievement, and employment history, that | ||
research has demonstrated will decrease the likelihood | ||
that the offender will re-offend and increase the | ||
likelihood that the offender will successfully reintegrate | ||
into the locality. | ||
(2) "Case plan" means a consistently updated written | ||
proposal that shall follow the offender through all phases | ||
of the criminal justice system, that is based on the | ||
offender's risks, assets, and needs as identified through | ||
the assessment tool described in this Act, and that | ||
outlines steps the offender shall take and the programs in | ||
which the offender shall participate to maximize the | ||
offender's ability to be rehabilitated. | ||
(3) "Conditions of supervision" include conditions | ||
described in Section 5-6-3.1 of the Unified Code of | ||
Corrections.
| ||
(4) "Evidence-based practices" means policies, | ||
procedures, programs, and practices that have been | ||
demonstrated to reduce recidivism among incarcerated | ||
individuals and individuals on local supervision. | ||
(5) "Local supervision" includes supervision in | ||
local-based, non-incarceration settings under such |
conditions and reporting requirements as are imposed by the | ||
court or the Prisoner Review Board. | ||
(6) "Needs" include an offender's criminogenic | ||
qualities, skills, and experiences that can be altered in | ||
ways that research has demonstrated will minimize the | ||
offender's chances of re-offending and maximize the | ||
offender's chances of successfully reintegrating into the | ||
locality. | ||
(6.5) "Offender" means a person charged with or | ||
convicted of a probation-eligible offense. | ||
(7) "Risks" include the attributes of an offender that | ||
are commonly considered to be those variables, such as age, | ||
prior criminal history, history of joblessness, and lack of | ||
education that research has demonstrated contribute to an | ||
offender's likelihood of re-offending and impact an | ||
offender's ability to successfully reintegrate into the | ||
locality. | ||
(8) (Blank). "Violent offender" means a person | ||
convicted of a violent crime as defined in subsection (c) | ||
of Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses | ||
Act.
| ||

(730 ILCS 190/20)
| ||
Sec. 20. Adult Redeploy Illinois.
| ||
(a) Purpose. When offenders are accurately assessed for |
risk, assets, and needs, it is possible to identify which | ||
people should be sent to prison and which people can be | ||
effectively supervised in the locality. By providing financial | ||
incentives to counties or judicial circuits to create effective | ||
local-level evidence-based services, it is possible to reduce | ||
crime and recidivism at a lower cost to taxpayers. Based on | ||
this model, this Act hereby creates the Adult Redeploy Illinois | ||
program for probation-eligible offenders who do not fall under | ||
the definition of violent offenders in order to increase public | ||
safety and encourage the successful local supervision of | ||
eligible offenders and their reintegration into the locality. | ||
(b) The Adult Redeploy Illinois program shall reallocate | ||
State funds to local jurisdictions that successfully establish | ||
a process to assess offenders and provide a continuum of | ||
locally based sanctions and treatment alternatives for | ||
offenders who would be incarcerated in a State facility if | ||
those local services and sanctions did not exist. The allotment | ||
of funds shall be based on a formula that rewards local | ||
jurisdictions for the establishment or expansion of local | ||
supervision programs and requires them to pay the amount | ||
determined in subsection (e) if incarceration targets as | ||
defined in subsection (e) are not met. | ||
(c) Each county or circuit participating in the Adult | ||
Redeploy Illinois program shall create a local plan describing | ||
how it will protect public safety and reduce the county or | ||
circuit's utilization of incarceration in State facilities or |
local county jails by the creation or expansion of | ||
individualized services or programs. | ||
(d) Based on the local plan, a county or circuit shall | ||
enter into an agreement with the Adult Redeploy Oversight Board | ||
described in subsection (e) to reduce the number of commitments | ||
of probation-eligible offenders to State correctional | ||
facilities from that county or circuit , excluding violent | ||
offenders . The agreement shall include a pledge from the county | ||
or circuit to reduce their commitments by 25% of the level of | ||
commitments from the average number of commitments for the past | ||
3 years of eligible non-violent offenders. In return, the | ||
county or circuit shall receive, based upon a formula described | ||
in subsection (e), funds to redeploy for local programming for | ||
offenders who would otherwise be incarcerated such as | ||
management and supervision, electronic monitoring, and drug | ||
testing. The county or circuit shall also be penalized, as | ||
described in subsection (e), for failure to reach the goal of | ||
reduced commitments stipulated in the agreement. | ||
(e) Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board; members; | ||
responsibilities. | ||
(1) The Secretary of Human Services and the Director of | ||
Corrections shall within 3 months after the effective date | ||
of this Act convene and act as co-chairs of an oversight | ||
board to oversee the Adult Redeploy Program. The Board | ||
shall include, but not be limited to, designees from the | ||
Prisoner Review Board, Office of the Attorney General, |
Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, and | ||
Sentencing Policy Advisory Council; the Cook County | ||
State's Attorney; a State's Attorney selected by the | ||
President of the Illinois State's Attorneys Association; | ||
the State Appellate Defender; the Cook County Public | ||
Defender; a representative of Cook County Adult Probation, | ||
a representative of DuPage County Adult Probation; a | ||
representative of Sangamon County Adult Probation; and 4 | ||
representatives from non-governmental organizations, | ||
including service providers. | ||
(2) The Oversight Board shall within one year after the | ||
effective date of this Act: | ||
(A) Develop a process to solicit applications from | ||
and identify jurisdictions to be included in the Adult | ||
Redeploy Illinois program. | ||
(B) Define categories of membership for local | ||
entities to participate in the creation and oversight | ||
of the local Adult Redeploy Illinois program. | ||
(C) Develop a formula for the allotment of funds to | ||
local jurisdictions for local and community-based | ||
services in lieu of commitment to the Department of | ||
Corrections and a penalty amount for failure to reach | ||
the goal of reduced commitments stipulated in the | ||
plans. | ||
(D) Develop a standard format for the local plan to | ||
be submitted by the local entity created in each county |
or circuit. | ||
(E) Identify and secure resources sufficient to | ||
support the administration and evaluation of Adult | ||
Redeploy Illinois. | ||
(F) Develop a process to support ongoing | ||
monitoring and evaluation of Adult Redeploy Illinois. | ||
(G) Review local plans and proposed agreements and | ||
approve the distribution of resources. | ||
(H) Develop a performance measurement system that | ||
includes but is not limited to the following key | ||
performance indicators: recidivism, rate of | ||
revocations, employment rates, education achievement, | ||
successful completion of substance abuse treatment | ||
programs, and payment of victim restitution. Each | ||
county or circuit shall include the performance | ||
measurement system in its local plan and provide data | ||
annually to evaluate its success.
| ||
(I) Report annually the results of the performance | ||
measurements on a timely basis to the Governor and | ||
General Assembly.
