    AN ACT concerning State government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 1. Findings. The General Assembly finds: 
        (1) As data tracking is necessary to develop effective 
    solutions to lower crime and to prioritize limited 
    resources, an integrated and accurate data system will 
    allow law enforcement agencies to better serve victims, to 
    analyze responses, and to strive to eliminate racial 
    disparities in the local and State responses to crime.
        (2) Aside from allowing local prosecutors and police 
    to calibrate their response to crime trends, updated data 
    will allow State leaders and policymakers to effectively 
    hone their legislative responses and to distribute 
    resources to successful strategies.
        (3) An integrated software system would better assist 
    law enforcement agencies in keeping Illinois communities 
    safe from crime. 
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Act 
is amended by changing Section 7 and by adding Section 7.11 as 
follows:
