AI Summary

This bill appropriates a specific amount of money from the General Fund to the Oregon Department of Corrections for the 2025-2027 biennium, specifically to provide culturally specific housing and employment reentry services targeted exclusively at Black adults who are currently incarcerated. The bill emphasizes that this appropriation is in addition to any existing funding allocations, not a replacement for them. The services will be provided at correctional facilities as defined under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 30.642, with the goal of supporting Black inmates in transitioning back into society by addressing housing and employment needs through culturally tailored support services. By specifying culturally specific services, the bill recognizes potential unique challenges and barriers faced by Black adults in the criminal justice system and seeks to provide targeted assistance to improve their reentry outcomes.
