1  AN ACT concerning State government.
2  Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3  represented in the General Assembly:
4  Section 1. Findings. The General Assembly finds:
5  (1) As data tracking is necessary to develop effective
6  solutions to lower crime and to prioritize limited
7  resources, an integrated and accurate data system will
8  allow law enforcement agencies to better serve victims, to
9  analyze responses, and to strive to eliminate racial
10  disparities in the local and State responses to crime.
11  (2) Aside from allowing local prosecutors and police
12  to calibrate their response to crime trends, updated data
13  will allow State leaders and policymakers to effectively
14  hone their legislative responses and to distribute
15  resources to successful strategies.
16  (3) An integrated software system would better assist
17  law enforcement agencies in keeping Illinois communities
18  safe from crime.
19  Section 5. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Act
20  is amended by changing Section 7 and by adding Section 7.11 as
21  follows:
22  (20 ILCS 3930/7) (from Ch. 38, par. 210-7)
