1 AN ACT concerning State government.

2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
3represented in the General Assembly:

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 
18 safe from crime. 

19 Section 5. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Act 
20is amended by changing Section 7 and by adding Section 7.11 as
