(730 ILCS 190/20) Sec. 20. Adult Redeploy Illinois. (a) Purpose. When justice-impacted individuals are accurately assessed for risk, assets, and needs, it is possible to identify which people should be sent to prison and which people can be effectively supervised in the locality. By providing financial incentives to counties or judicial circuits to create effective local-level evidence-based services, it is possible to reduce crime and recidivism at a lower cost to taxpayers. Based on this model, this Act hereby creates the Adult Redeploy Illinois program for probation-eligible justice-impacted individuals in order to increase public safety and encourage the successful local supervision of eligible justice-impacted individuals and their reintegration into the locality. (a-5) For the purpose of this Section, "justice-impacted individual" has the same meaning as "offender" in Section 5 of this Act. (b) The Adult Redeploy Illinois program shall allocate State funds to local jurisdictions that successfully establish a process to assess justice-impacted individuals and provide a continuum of locally based sanctions and treatment alternatives for justice-impacted individuals who would be incarcerated in a State facility if those local services and sanctions did not exist. Funds shall be distributed via a grant program that rewards local jurisdictions for the establishment or expansion of local supervision programs and requires them to pay the amount determined in subsection (e) if incarceration targets as defined in subsection (e) are not met. (c) Each county or circuit participating in the Adult Redeploy Illinois program shall create a local plan describing how it will protect public safety and reduce the county or circuit's utilization of incarceration in State facilities or local county jails by the creation or expansion of individualized services or programs. (d) Based on the local plan, a county or circuit shall enter into an agreement with the Adult Redeploy Oversight Board described in subsection (e) to reduce the number of commitments of probation-eligible justice-impacted individuals to State correctional facilities from that county or circuit. The agreement shall include a pledge from the county or circuit to reduce their commitments by 25% of the level of commitments from the average number of commitments for the past 3 years of eligible justice-impacted individuals. In return, the county or circuit shall receive funds to redeploy for local programming for justice-impacted individuals who would otherwise be incarcerated such as management and supervision, electronic monitoring, and drug testing. The county or circuit shall also be penalized, as described in subsection (e), for failure to reach the goal of reduced commitments stipulated in the agreement. (d-5) Subject to appropriation to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, the Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board described in subsection (e) may provide grant funds to qualified organizations that can assist local jurisdictions in training, development, and technical assistance. (e) Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board; members; responsibilities. (1) The Adult Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board is created to oversee, provide guidance,
