A BILL FOR
HB3905 LRB100 11387 RLC 21788 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 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.

HB3905 - 2 - LRB100 11387 RLC 21788 b
(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

HB3905 - 3 - LRB100 11387 RLC 21788 b
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 convicted of a criminal
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

HB3905 - 4 - LRB100 11387 RLC 21788 b
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 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

HB3905 - 5 - LRB100 11387 RLC 21788 b
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
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,

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

HB3905 - 7 - LRB100 11387 RLC 21788 b
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.
