Bill > HB4526

This bill appropriates $2,100,000 from the state's General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, which will then provide a grant to an organization called Safer Pathways. This funding is specifically designated to support the "Supportive Reentry Network Collaborative," which is described as a comprehensive system designed to help individuals transitioning back into society after incarceration. This collaborative aims to integrate various essential services, including medical and mental health care, housing, job assistance, help with restoring legal identification, access to legal benefits, and coordinated care management. The goal is to create a unified and accountable system that connects individuals who are within 90 days of their release from prison up to a year or more after their release with these critical support services through a coordinated referral process, shared performance measures, and a common data system. This initiative is set to become effective on July 1, 2026.
