(730 ILCS 190/1) Sec. 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Illinois Crime Reduction Act of 2009. (Source: P.A. 96-761, eff. 1-1-10.)

(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. (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). (Source: P.A. 100-999, eff. 1-1-19.)

(730 ILCS 190/10) Sec. 10. Evidence-based programming. (a) Purpose. Research and practice have identified new strategies and policies that can result in a significant reduction in recidivism rates and the successful local reintegration of offenders. The purpose of this Section is to ensure that State and local agencies direct their resources to services and programming that have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing recidivism and reintegrating offenders into the locality. (b) Evidence-based programming in local supervision. (1) The Parole Division of the Department of Corrections and the Prisoner Review Board shall adopt policies, rules, and regulations that, within the first year of the adoption, validation, and utilization of the statewide, standardized risk assessment tool described in this Act, result in at least 25% of supervised individuals being supervised in accordance with evidence-based practices; within 3 years of the adoption, validation, and utilization of the statewide, standardized risk assessment tool result in at least 50% of supervised individuals being supervised in accordance with evidence-based practices; and within 5 years of the adoption, validation, and utilization of the statewide, standardized risk assessment tool result in at least 75% of supervised individuals being supervised in accordance with evidence-based practices. The policies, rules, and regulations shall: (A) Provide for a standardized individual case plan that follows the offender through the criminal justice system (including in-prison if the supervised individual is in prison) that is: (i) Based on the assets of the individual as well as his or her risks and needs identified through the assessment tool as described in this Act. (ii) Comprised of treatment and supervision services appropriate to achieve the purpose of this Act. (iii) Consistently updated, based on program participation by the supervised individual and other behavior modification exhibited by the supervised individual. (B) Concentrate resources and services on high-risk offenders. (C) Provide for the use of evidence-based programming related to education, job training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other programming designed to reduce criminal behavior. (D) Establish a system of graduated responses. (i) The system shall set forth a menu of presumptive responses for the most common types of supervision violations. (ii) The system shall be guided by the model list of intermediate sanctions created by the Probation Services Division of the State of Illinois pursuant to subsection (1) of Section 15 of the Probation and Probation Officers Act and the system of intermediate sanctions created by the Chief Judge of each circuit court pursuant to Section 5-6-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections. (iii) The system of responses shall take into account factors such as the severity of the current violation; the supervised individual's risk level as determined by a validated assessment tool described in this Act; the supervised individual's assets; his or her previous criminal record; and the number and severity of any previous supervision violations. (iv) The system shall also define positive reinforcements that supervised individuals may receive for compliance with conditions of supervision. (v) Response to violations should be swift and certain and should be imposed as soon as practicable but no longer than 3 working days of detection of the violation behavior. (vi) The system of graduated responses shall be published on the Department of Corrections website for public view. (2) Conditions of local supervision (probation and mandatory supervised release). Conditions of local supervision whether imposed by a sentencing judge or the Prisoner Review Board shall be imposed in accordance with the offender's risks, assets, and needs as identified through the assessment tool described in this Act. (3) The Department of Corrections and the Prisoner Review Board shall annually publish an exemplar copy of any evidence-based assessments, questionnaires, or other instruments used to set conditions of release. (c) Evidence-based in-prison programming. (1) The Department of Corrections shall adopt policies, rules, and regulations that, within the first year of the adoption, validation, and utilization of the statewide, standardized risk assessment tool described in this Act, result in at least 25% of incarcerated individuals receiving services and programming in accordance with evidence-based practices; within 3 years of the adoption, validation, and utilization of the statewide, standardized risk assessment tool result in at least 50% of incarcerated individuals receiving services and programming in accordance with evidence-based practices; and within 5 years of the adoption, validation, and utilization of the statewide, standardized risk assessment tool result in at least 75% of incarcerated individuals receiving services and programming in accordance with evidence-based practices. The policies, rules, and regulations shall: (A) Provide for the use and development of a case plan based on the risks, assets, and needs identified through the assessment tool as described in this Act. The case plan should be used to determine in-prison programming; should be continuously updated based on program participation by the prisoner and other behavior modification exhibited by the prisoner; and should be used when creating the case plan described in subsection (b). (B) Provide for the use of evidence-based programming related to education, job training, cognitive behavioral therapy and other evidence-based programming. (C) Establish education programs based on a teacher to student ratio of no more than 1:30. (D) Expand the use of drug prisons, modeled after the Sheridan Correctional Center, to provide sufficient drug treatment and other support services to non-violent inmates with a history of substance abuse. (2) Participation and completion of programming by prisoners can impact earned time credit as determined under Section 3-6-3 of the Unified Code of Corrections. (3) The Department of Corrections shall provide its employees with intensive and ongoing training and professional development services to support the implementation of evidence-based practices. The training and professional development services shall include assessment techniques, case planning, cognitive behavioral training, risk reduction and intervention strategies, effective communication skills, substance abuse treatment education and other topics identified by the Department or its employees.

(730 ILCS 190/15) Sec. 15. Adoption, validation, and utilization of an assessment tool. (a) Purpose. In order to determine appropriate punishment or services which will protect public safety, it is necessary for the State and local jurisdictions to adopt a common assessment tool. Supervision and correctional programs are most effective at reducing future crime when they accurately assess offender risks, assets, and needs, and use these assessment results to assign supervision levels and target programs to criminogenic needs. (b) After review of the plan issued by the Task Force described in subsection (c), the Department of Corrections, the Parole Division of the Department of Corrections, and the Prisoner Review Board shall adopt policies, rules, and regulations that within 3 years of the effective date of this Act result in the adoption, validation, and utilization of a statewide, standardized risk assessment tool across the Illinois criminal justice system.

730 ILCS 190/20 Adult Redeploy Illinois

(730 ILCS 190/20) Sec. 20. Adult Redeploy Illinois. (a) Purpose. When justice-impacted individuals 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 in order to increase public safety and encourage the successful local supervision of eligible justice-impacted individuals 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 State funds to local jurisdictions that successfully establish a process to assess justice-impacted individuals and provide a continuum of locally based sanctions and treatment alternatives for justice-impacted individuals 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 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 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% of the level of commitments from the average number of commitments for the past 3 years of eligible justice-impacted individuals. In return, the county or circuit shall receive funds to redeploy for local programming for justice-impacted individuals 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 funds to qualified organizations that can assist local jurisdictions in training, development, and technical assistance. (e) Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board; members; responsibilities. (1) The Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board is created to oversee, provide guidance, and develop an administrative structure for the Adult Redeploy Illinois Program. Once all members have been appointed as outlined in this subsection (e), the Board may exercise any power, perform any function, take any action, or do anything in furtherance of its purposes and goals upon the appointment of a quorum of its members.
