The bill proposes an appropriation of $1 million over two fiscal years, specifically $500,000 for each of the years 2026 and 2027, from the general fund to support The Redemption Project. This initiative aims to assist justice-impacted individuals by providing programming that focuses on reducing incarceration rates and facilitating the transition of inmates back into the community. The funding will be allocated to the commissioner of corrections for a grant that will enable the project to offer virtue-based education, mentoring, support services, and employment services grounded in core correctional practices.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that this section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This legislative effort underscores a commitment to improving rehabilitation and reintegration strategies for individuals affected by the justice system, ultimately aiming to enhance public safety and reduce recidivism.
