Moves the provisions to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Act from the Illinois State Police Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (rather than the Illinois State Police) shall establish a Uniform Statewide Crime Statistics Task Force within 120 days (rather than 90 days) after the effective date of the amendatory Act and provide administrative and technical (rather than other) support to the Task Force. Provides that the members of the Task Force shall be appointed by the Executive Director of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (rather than the Director of the Illinois State Police), and modifies the membership of the Task Force. Requires the Task Force to meet at least quarterly (rather than monthly). Requires the Task Force to submit a report no later than 18 months after first convening (rather than one year after the effective date of the amendatory Act) to the Governor, General Assembly, and the Director of the Illinois State Police (rather than only to the Director). Modifies the requirements of the report. Further amends the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Act. Provides that the Authority may exercise any other powers that are reasonable and necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of the Authority under this Act and to comply with the requirements of applicable State or federal law (rather than federal law) or regulation.

A BILL FOR
HB2323 LRB103 28598 AWJ 54979 b
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 State Police Law of the Civil
Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by adding Section
2605-625 as follows:
