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. 103RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY State of Illinois 2023 and 2024 SB0075 Introduced 1/20/2023, by Sen.

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 SB0075 - 2 - LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b SB0075- 3 -LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b SB0075 - 3 - LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b SB0075 - 3 - LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b 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 SB0075 - 3 - LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b SB0075- 4 -LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b SB0075 - 4 - LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b SB0075 - 4 - LRB103 04675 RLC 50239 b 1 and establish the programs described in this Act. 2 Section 10.
