Short description: 
EX-OFFENDERS EMPLOYMENT                                                    

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Illinois Ex-Offenders Employment  Stabilization  Act.      
   Provides  that the Department of Employment Security shall establish a      
   grant   program   titled   the   Illinois   Ex-Offenders    Employment      
   Stabilization  Program. The program applies to local governments where      
   the number of residents under State community correctional supervision      
   is 10, 000 or more and with a recidivism rate of 25% or more. Provides      
   that  the  Governor   shall   appoint   an   Ex-Offenders   Employment      
   Stabilization   Program   Advisory  Board,  which  shall  prepare  and      
   recommend rules for the program, determine criteria and procedures for      
   grant awards, review grant applications, and make  recommendations  to      
   the  Department  concerning  grant  awards.  Provides requirements for      
   grant proposals. Provides  that  funds  may  be  appropriated  to  the      
   Department  to  pay  its costs of administering the program. Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          New Act                                                              
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          20 ILCS 3930/7.2 new                                                 
        Deletes  everything.  Amends  the   Illinois   Criminal   Justice      
   Information   Act.   Provides   that  the  Illinois  Criminal  Justice      
   Information Authority shall  establish  a  grant  program  titled  the      
   Illinois  Ex-Offenders  Employment  Stabilization  Pilot  Program. The      
   program applies to local governments where  the  number  of  residents      
   under  State community correctional supervision is 10, 000 or more and      
   with a recidivism rate of 25% or more. Provides that the Authority may      
   discontinue the program if the program fails to meet  its  objectives.      
   Provides  the  appointment of an Ex-Offenders Employment Stabilization      
   Pilot Program Advisory Board, which shall prepare and recommend  rules      
   for  the  program, determine criteria and procedures for grant awards,      
   review grant applications, and make recommendations to  the  Authority      
   concerning  grant  awards.  Sets  requirements  for  grant  proposals.      
   Provides  that  funds  may be appropriated to the Authority to pay its      
   costs of administering the program. Effective immediately.                  
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE (Illinois Department of Corrections)               
          No new incarceration sanctions or enhanced incarceration penal-      
          ties are associated with this offense. Therefore, there is no        
          corrections population or fiscal impact on the Department.           
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1                                                  
          (Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority)                    
          It is difficult to determine the fiscal impact of HB 4103,           
          as amended, at this time. The amount of funds needed for grant       
          programs would be dependent on the decisions of the                  
          Ex-Offenders Employment Stabilization Advisory Board that would      
          be created by the bill.  It is also difficult at this time to        
          determine the necessary administrative costs. These costs will       
          be dependent on the amount of grant funds available, and the         
          number and complexity of grants to be administered. For federal      
          grant programs administered by the Authority, 7% to 10% of           
          grant funds are normally needed to properly administer a pro-        
          gram.                                                                
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 5.                                                 
        Deletes everything. Reinserts the provisions of  House  Amendment      
   No.  1  with  the  following  changes:  changes the composition of the      
   Advisory Board; provides that the grant proposal requirements are  not      
   limited  to  those  specified;  provides that the purpose is to assist      
   qualified individuals; provides that expenditure of funds  is  subject      
   to appropriation; and repeals the new provisions on December 31, 2007.      
   Effective immediately.                                                      
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 5                                                  
          (Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority)                    
          Same as previous fiscal note.

          Deletes reference to:                                                
          20 ILCS 3930/7.2 new                                                 
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          20 ILCS 3930/1                  from Ch. 38, par. 210-1              
        Deletes  everything.  Amends  the   Illinois   Criminal   Justice      
   Information  Act.  Makes  a technical change in the Section concerning      
   the short title.
