HB4409 Engrossed LRB103 35995 RLC 66082 b
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 Section 20 as follows:
(730 ILCS 190/20)
Sec. 20. Adult Redeploy Illinois.
(a) Purpose. When justice-impacted individuals 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 justice-impacted individuals offenders in
order to increase public safety and encourage the successful
local supervision of eligible justice-impacted individuals
offenders and their reintegration into the locality.
(a-5) For the purpose of this Section, "justice-impacted
individual" has the same meaning as "offender" in Section 5 of
this Act.

(b) The Adult Redeploy Illinois program shall allocate
reallocate State funds to local jurisdictions that
successfully establish a process to assess justice-impacted
individuals offenders and provide a continuum of locally based
sanctions and treatment alternatives for justice-impacted
individuals offenders who would be incarcerated in a State
facility if those local services and sanctions did not exist.
Funds shall be distributed via a grant program 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 justice-impacted
individuals offenders to State correctional facilities from
that county or circuit. The agreement shall include a pledge
from the county or circuit to reduce their commitments by 25%

HB4409 Engrossed - 3 - LRB103 35995 RLC 66082 b
of the level of commitments from the average number of
commitments for the past 3 years of eligible justice-impacted
individuals offenders. In return, the county or circuit shall
receive, based upon a formula described in subsection (e),
funds to redeploy for local programming for justice-impacted
individuals 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.
(d-5) Subject to appropriation to the Illinois Criminal
Justice Information Authority, the Adult Redeploy Illinois
Oversight Board described in subsection (e) may provide grant
