The proposed bill establishes the Secure Pre-Integration Pilot Program, aimed at providing re-integration assistance to non-violent offenders to help reduce prison populations and associated costs. The program will be administered by the Department of Corrections and will involve a comprehensive plan for the release of inmates to their families or community entities, such as churches or non-profit organizations, which will monitor the released individuals and report back to the Department. Importantly, the bill clarifies that participation in this program does not alter sentence lengths or serve as a means for probation or parole, and it includes provisions for inmates transferred from other states under the Interstate Corrections Compact.

Additionally, the bill creates the Secure Pre-Integration Pilot Program Revolving Fund within the State Treasury, which will consist of funds received from various sources, including appropriations and donations, specifically for the program's administration. The Department of Corrections is authorized to budget and expend these funds, with up to five percent allocated for administrative costs. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
