(a) Both state and local agencies that implement criminal justice practices resulting in outcomes that reduce commitments to the Department of Correction should be rewarded.
(b) If a state agency, county, or judicial district has implemented proven risk-reduction strategies that reduce the number of offenders returning to the Department of Correction with no resultant increase in the crime rate; then, in order to reward the state agency, county, or judicial district and as an incentive to encourage similar practices elsewhere, the state agency, county, or judicial district should receive a monetary reward to continue those practices.
(c) The award would represent a portion of the monetary savings from the costs that would have been incurred had the state agency, county, or judicial district not reduced its impact on the Department of Correction.
(d) The goal of this subchapter is to align state and local fiscal incentives by rewarding the Department of Community Correction, county governments, and judicial districts for each entity's role in reducing its impact on the Department of Correction.
