Relating to the Justice Reinvestment Program.
HB 2934 amends Oregon's Justice Reinvestment Program by changing the membership structure of the Justice Reinvestment Grant Review Committee from seven to ten voting members. It adds two community-based organization representatives focused on underserved racial/ethnic communities and two members with lived experience in the criminal justice system. The bill also clarifies the committee's role in reviewing grant applications and requires counties to demonstrate historical reductions in prison use for specific felony offenses to qualify for full funding. This procedural update affects counties applying for grants to fund community-based alternatives to incarceration, without altering the program's core goal of reducing prison populations and improving equity.
