What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Corrections to design and implement a

program to reduce recidivism among offenders who were under the age of 25 when

they committed crimes. The bill requires the department to identify offenders who

are serving sentences for Class C to Class I felonies or for misdemeanors and whose

risk of recidivism would be reduced after participating in the program. The bill

requires the department to house the offenders and administer the program in a

separate facility or in a unit of a facility that is separate from the general prison

population.
