| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Act is | 5 | | amended by adding Section 20 as follows: | 6 | | (20 ILCS 3930/20 new) | 7 | | Sec. 20.

These experiences can have | 15 | | a severe impact on well-being by impairing people's daily | 16 | | functioning and emotional health, contributing to higher | 17 | | rates of hospitalization, suicide attempts, substance | 18 | | abuse, incarceration, and emotional responses, such as | 19 | | anger. | 20 | | (2) There are communities in Illinois that experience | 21 | | high rates of violent crime, and their members often bear | 22 | | the costs of unaddressed trauma. | 23 | | (3) A trauma-informed approach acknowledges the |
