1  AN ACT creating the Department of Returning Resident
2  Affairs.
3  Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4  represented in the General Assembly:
5  Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Second
6  Chance Public Health and Safety Act.
7  Section 5. Legislative declarations and findings. The
8  General Assembly finds and declares that:
9  (1) The health, welfare, and prosperity of all
10  Illinois citizens requires the State to change its
11  response to individuals impacted by the judicial system
12  from failed siloed programming to a comprehensive,
13  coordinated, and holistic approach that provides those
14  returning residents with a real second chance to succeed
15  in life.
16  (2) Approximately 42% of Illinois' working age
17  population has an arrest or conviction record. The fact
18  that many of these Illinoisans had no first chance at
19  success in life before their interaction with the judicial
20  system, let alone a real second chance after their
21  release, underscores the need to respond to these
22  individuals when their justice involvement begins without
23  waiting until it ends.

1  (3) This condition is exacerbated after these
2  individuals are released from incarceration because they
3  are often perceived as being forever irredeemable even
4  though they have paid their debt to society. Their
5  post-incarceration environment is therefore fraught with
6  barriers to their success, with obstacles impeding them
7  from accessing such basic human necessities as decent
8  housing, meaningful employment, transportation,
9  education, digital literacy, health care, and nutrition.
10  (4) The cost of those obstacles to Illinois is high,
11  both in terms of dollars and violence. Approximately 41%
12  of persons incarcerated in Illinois will recidivate within
13  3 years. Each recidivism event costs Illinois taxpayers
14  over $151,000. The cost of recidivism in terms of violence
15  to Illinois communities is higher, with 39% of returning
16  residents being re-arrested for a violent crime within 9
17  years of release and 86% of persons charged with a
18  homicide in Illinois having arrest or conviction records.
19  An uncalculated cost to Illinois is the loss of
20  productivity and profitability to our State's businesses
21  that suffer from labor shortages when returning residents
22  could be supported and prepared to enter the workforce.
23  (5) Illinois' current approach to returning residents
24  fails because it requires them to navigate through the
25  requirements of numerous disjointed, siloed, and
26  uncoordinated programs that do not fit their individual

1  needs and without the fundamental knowledge, tools, and
2  assistance needed for those returning residents to
3  navigate them.
4  (6) It is in the best interests of all Illinois
5  citizens for the State to reduce the cost of recidivism by
6  moving from this failed approach. It is therefore in the
7  best interests of all Illinois citizens for the State to
8  create a comprehensive, coordinated, and holistic program
9  that provides returning residents with effective
10  assistance to respond to the social determinants and
11  obstacles that impede their successful reentry to society.
12  (7) This approach is best achieved by the State's
13  creation of a single Department to coordinate the
14  provision of programs to returning residents through
15  community-based navigators working for community-based
16  organizations. Those navigators and community-based
17  organizations understand returning residents' assessed and
18  individualized needs because they work in the communities
19  where returning residents live. With this experience, they
20  can support returning residents with the resources and
21  assistance they need to navigate through and connect with
22  the multiple systems and service providers that returning
23  residents require to be successful in life.
24  (8) The General Assembly therefore finds that it is
25  necessary to create the Department of Returning Resident
26  Affairs and to require the Department to take the actions

19  comprehensive, coordinated, and holistic basis;

21  employ the navigators or personnel similar to the
22  navigators described in this Act to connect returning
23  residents to other community-based service providers;

3  Sec. 7. Exemptions.
4  (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
5  record that contains information that is exempt from
6  disclosure under this Section, but also contains information
7  that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect
8  to redact the information that is exempt. The public body
9  shall make the remaining information available for inspection
10  and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall
11  be exempt from inspection and copying:
12  (a) Information specifically prohibited from
13  disclosure by federal or State law or rules and
14  regulations implementing federal or State law.
15  (b) Private information, unless disclosure is required
16  by another provision of this Act, a State or federal law,
17  or a court order.
18  (b-5) Files, documents, and other data or databases
19  maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and

23  (c) Personal information contained within public
24  records, the disclosure of which would constitute a

  SB0075 - 33 - LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b
1  the disclosure is consented to in writing by the
2  individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted
3  invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of
4  information that is highly personal or objectionable to a
5  reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
6  privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in
7  obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
8  that bears on the public duties of public employees and
9  officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
10  privacy.
11  (d) Records in the possession of any public body
12  created in the course of administrative enforcement
13  proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional
14  agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the
15  extent that disclosure would:
16  (i) interfere with pending or actually and
17  reasonably contemplated law enforcement proceedings
18  conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
19  agency that is the recipient of the request;
20  (ii) interfere with active administrative
21  enforcement proceedings conducted by the public body
22  that is the recipient of the request;
23  (iii) create a substantial likelihood that a
24  person will be deprived of a fair trial or an impartial
25  hearing;

11  request;
12  (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative
13  techniques other than those generally used and known
14  or disclose internal documents of correctional

18  agency or public body that is the recipient of the
19  request;
20  (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law
21  enforcement personnel or any other person; or
