AI Summary
This bill appropriates $12 million from the General Fund to the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) for the biennium starting July 1, 2025. The funding is specifically designated for distribution to the Northwest Health Foundation Fund II to support the Justice Reinvestment Equity Program, which was originally established in Chapter 78 of Oregon Laws from 2022. The bill emphasizes that this $12 million appropriation is in addition to any existing funding allocations, not replacing them. The Justice Reinvestment Equity Program likely aims to address systemic inequities in the criminal justice system, though the specific details of the program's objectives are not provided in the bill text. By allocating these funds, the legislature intends to provide financial resources to support the program's continued implementation and potential expansion.
