What this bill does

The bill requires local mental health authorities to coordinate with the Department of Corrections, as feasible, so mental health services continue for county residents on probation or parole. It also lets the Department of Corrections buy or adopt technology to coordinate with outside groups supporting people on probation or parole, creates a special fund for reentry services that accepts donations, and changes several rules on public job applicants and unprofessional conduct tied to past convictions.
