Bill > HB0307

This bill makes a technical amendment to Section 3-14-3 of the Unified Code of Corrections, which addresses parole services. Specifically, the bill removes and replaces the word "the" in the opening paragraph of the section, which describes the Department of Corrections' responsibilities in assisting parolees or releasees. The section outlines various support services that the Department can provide to individuals on parole, including employment counseling, job placement, residential placement assistance, family and individual counseling, financial counseling, vocational and educational counseling, and referral services to other state or local agencies. The bill requires the Department to inform parolees about the availability of these services before their release and allows the Department to purchase necessary services for parolees if they are not otherwise available. While the change appears to be purely technical and does not substantively alter the existing law, it ensures the precise language of the statute is accurate.
