378	378	8 Section 10. The Reimagine Public Safety Act is amended by
379	379	9 changing Sections 35-15, 35-25, 35-30, 35-35, and 35-40 as
380	380	10 follows:
381	381	11 (430 ILCS 69/35-15)
382	382	12 Sec. 35-15. Findings. The Illinois General Assembly finds
383	383	13 that:
384	384	14 (1) Discrete neighborhoods in municipalities across
385	385	15 Illinois are experiencing concentrated and perpetual
386	386	16 firearm violence that is a public health epidemic.
387	387	17 (2) Within neighborhoods experiencing this firearm
388	388	18 violence epidemic, violence is concentrated among teens
389	389	19 and young adults that have chronic exposure to the risk of
390	390	20 violence and criminal legal system involvement and related
391	391	21 trauma in small geographic areas where these young people
392	392	22 live or congregate.
393	393	23 (3) Firearm violence victimization and perpetration is
394	394	24 highly concentrated in particular neighborhoods,
395	395

404	404	HB3474 - 11 - LRB103 05889 CPF 50910 b
405	405	1 particular blocks within these neighborhoods, and among a
406	406	2 small number of individuals living in these areas.
407	407	3 (4) People who are chronically exposed to the risk of
408	408	4 firearm violence victimization are substantially more
409	409	5 likely to be violently injured or violently injure another
410	410	6 person. People who have been violently injured are
411	411	7 substantially more likely to be violently reinjured.
412	412	8 Chronic exposure to violence additionally leads
413	413	9 individuals to engage in behavior, as part of a cycle of
414	414	10 community violence, trauma, and retaliation that
415	415	11 substantially increases their own risk of violent injury
416	416	12 or reinjury.
417	417	13 (5) Evidence-based programs that engage individuals at
418	418	14 the highest risk of firearm violence and provide life
419	419	15 stabilization, case management, and culturally competent
420	420	16 group and individual therapy reduce firearm violence
421	421	17 victimization and perpetration and can end Illinois'
422	422	18 firearm violence epidemic.
423	423	19 (6) A public health approach to ending Illinois'
424	424	20 firearm violence epidemic requires targeted, integrated
425	425	21 behavioral health services and economic opportunity that
426	426	22 promotes self-sufficiency for victims of firearm violence
427	427	23 and those with chronic exposure to the risk of firearm
428	428	24 violence victimization, including, but not limited to,
429	429	25 services for criminal and juvenile justice-involved
430	430	26 populations, community revitalization initiatives, and

441	441	1 crisis response services, such as psychological first aid.
442	442	2 (7) A public health approach to ending Illinois'
443	443	3 firearm violence epidemic further requires broader
444	444	4 preventive investments in the census tracts and blocks
445	445	5 that reduce risk factors for youth and families living in
446	446	6 areas at the highest risk of firearm violence
447	447	7 victimization.
448	448	8 (8) A public health approach to ending Illinois'
449	449	9 firearm violence epidemic requires empowering residents
450	450	10 and community-based organizations within impacted
451	451	11 neighborhoods to provide culturally competent care based
452	452	12 on lived experience in these areas and long-term
453	453	13 relationships of mutual interest that promote safety and
454	454	14 stability.
455	455	15 (9) A public health approach to ending Illinois'
456	456	16 firearm violence epidemic further requires that preventive
457	457	17 youth development services for youth in these
458	458	18 neighborhoods be fully integrated with a team-based model
459	459	19 of mental health care to address trauma recovery for those
460	460	20 young people at the highest risk of firearm violence
461	461	21 victimization.
462	462	22 (10) Community revitalization can be an effective
463	463	23 violence prevention strategy, provided that revitalization
464	464	24 is targeted to the highest risk geographies within
465	465	25 communities and revitalization efforts are designed and
