Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that the Department of Corrections shall provide educational programs in each of its institutions and facilities for all committed persons. Provides that the Department must allow into each institution and facility of the Department teachers who hold Professional Educator Licenses issued by the State Superintendent of Education under the School Code to teach committed persons. Provides that the Department shall provide vocational training for committed persons in each institution and facility of the Department. Provides that each institution and facility of the Department of Juvenile Justice shall provide educational and vocational training for all persons committed to the Department. Effective immediately.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Juvenile Justice)
 The Department of Juvenile Justice currently has a contract with Lake Land Community College to provide vocational education at IYC-St. Charles and IYC-Harrisburg, estimated at approximately $80,000 per month. In addition, the Department provides other vocational opportunities such as Youth Build and ACT Key Train. Because the Department is already required by the Federal consent decree to provide these services, the legislation has a minimal, if any, fiscal impact on the Department.
