Description
The Redeploy County Review Committee includes designees Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS), Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ), Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and Governor's Office of Management and Budget (GOMB) who form a subcommittee of the Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board. They review individualized agreements from counties and report its recommendations to the Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board. The Redeploy Illinois (RI) Oversight Board developed the Redeploy Illinois Focused Program, building on the success of Redeploy Illinois (RI), to recognize the value of providing community based services for juveniles who reside in a county that does not meet the statutory criteria for RI funding. The Redeploy Illinois Focused Program considers individual funding requests for RI eligible youth to avoid commitment to the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice.
Responsibilities of the County Review Committee
The County Review Committee shall:
(1) Review individualized agreements from counties requesting resources on an occasional basis for services for youth described in subsection (d-5).
(2) Report its decisions to the Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board at regularly scheduled meetings.
(3) Monitor the effectiveness of the resources in meeting the mandates of the Redeploy Illinois program set forth in this Section so these results might be included in the Report described in clause (g)(1)(ii)(F).
(4) During the third quarter, assess the amount of remaining funds available and necessary to complete the fiscal year so that any unused funds may be distributed as defined in subsection (f).
(5) Ensure that the number of youth from any applicant county receiving individualized resources will not exceed the previous three-year average of Redeploy eligible recipients and that counties are in conformity with all other elements of this law.
