2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 2323 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 1. Findings. The General Assembly finds: | ||||||
5 | (1) As data tracking is necessary to develop effective | ||||||
6 | solutions to lower crime and to prioritize limited | ||||||
7 | resources, an integrated and accurate data system will | ||||||
8 | allow law enforcement agencies to better serve victims, to | ||||||
9 | analyze responses, and to strive to eliminate racial | ||||||
10 | disparities in the local and State responses to crime. | ||||||
11 | (2) Aside from allowing local prosecutors and police | ||||||
12 | to calibrate their response to crime trends, updated data | ||||||
13 | will allow State leaders and policymakers to effectively | ||||||
14 | hone their legislative responses and to distribute | ||||||
15 | resources to successful strategies. | ||||||
16 | (3) An integrated software system would better assist | ||||||
17 | law enforcement agencies in keeping Illinois communities |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | safe from crime.
