Bill Summary

Amends the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois to require all state agencies to waive fees for services provided to individuals who have recently been released from incarceration. Specifically, the bill mandates that for one year following a person's release from a correctional facility operated by the Illinois Department of Corrections, the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice, or the Federal Bureau of Prisons, those individuals will not be charged any fees for state agency services. This provision aims to reduce financial barriers for formerly incarcerated individuals as they reintegrate into society, potentially helping to support their successful transition and reduce recidivism by making essential state services more accessible during a critical period after their release.
