IL SB0422

Adds two new categories to master record files maintained by the Department of Corrections and Department of Juvenile Justice: last known address provided by committed persons and all medical and dental records.

Establishes that committed persons and their attorneys may request a summary of their master record file once per year, with the Department providing the summary within 15 days using a standardized form available on its website.

Requires the summary to include identifying information, court records, criminal history, assignment history, disciplinary records, grievance records from January 1, 2023 onward, and up to 3 disciplinary incidents and 5 grievances as specified by the requester.

Sets phased digitalization deadlines for Department of Corrections records: newly committed persons' files by July 1, 2025; medical and dental records by July 1, 2027; and all remaining records by July 1, 2029, subject to appropriation.

Requires the Department of Corrections to conduct a study by January 1, 2024, in consultation with the Department of Innovation and Technology, on the best approach to digitize all records and assess the impact on state agencies.
