HB 7125, which establishes new safety priorities for Florida, passes the House’s Appropriations Committee.

Criminal justice reforms, which both reduce incarceration and improve safety, were advanced in partnership with crime victims.

Today, Governor Bruce Rauner signed Senate Bill 2872, the Neighborhood Safety Act, into law. This groundbreaking law will help stop the cycle of crime by expanding access to trauma recovery services for crime victims, incentivizing inmates to participate in rehabilitation programs including life skills, job training and substance abuse treatment, and expanding judicial discretion for some sentencing decisions.
