4    Section 1. Findings. The General Assembly finds:
5        (1) As data tracking is necessary to develop effective

9    analyze responses, and to strive to eliminate racial
10    disparities in the local and State responses to crime.
11        (2) Aside from allowing local prosecutors and police
12    to calibrate their response to crime trends, updated data
13    will allow State leaders and policymakers to effectively
14    hone their legislative responses and to distribute
15    resources to successful strategies.
16        (3) An integrated software system would better assist
17    law enforcement agencies in keeping Illinois communities
18    safe from crime.
 
19    Section 5. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Act
