Bill > H1518

This bill aims to enhance clarity and consistency in the operations of the Justice Reinvestment Oversight Board. It does this by amending existing laws to establish more robust data collection and reporting standards for criminal justice agencies and the trial court. Key provisions include requiring the use of a unique statewide identification number for individuals in the criminal justice system, mandating the collection and reporting of detailed data on offenses, demographics, risk assessments, and recidivism rates, and ensuring accurate reporting of racial and ethnic data. The bill also empowers the Oversight Board to monitor compliance with these new data requirements and report annually on the state's progress.
