SECOND CHANCE: coordinated efforts to secure funding for the grant programs that the Second Chance Act authorizes for fiscal years 2015 and 2016. Activities included work with the Hill to submit to Congress a letter in support of FY2016 funding. The FY16 Criminal, Justice, Science appropriations bills released by the House included a mark of $68 million and $68 million in the Senate. In June of 2015, the Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2015 was introduced in the Senate by Senators Leahy (D-VT) and Portman (R-OH). Congressmen Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and, Davis (D-IL) introduced the House version of the bill. CSG has had several meetings with Members of Congress to increase support for the bill. In June 2014, CSG released a report highlighting recidivism reductions in eight states. To promote the report, CSG held a Congressional staff briefing that featured the governors of West Virginia and Pennsylvania and several Members of Congress. REINVESTMENT: coordinated efforts to secure funding for the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JR) for fiscal years 2015 and 2016. Played a pivotal role in garnering congressional approval for critical criminal justice programs, including the Justice Reinvestment Initiative. Activities included work with the Hill to submit to Congress a letter in support of FY2016 funding. The FY16 Criminal, Justice, Science appropriations bill was approved by the House on June 3rd which included $27.5 million for the Justice Reinvestment Initiative. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved their version of the FY16 bill at $22 million. In June 2014, CSG and Pew Charitable Trust co-sponsored the three-day "Justice Reinvestment National Summit, Sustaining Success, Maintaining Momentum" aimed to give participants an opportunity to learn from each other's experiences with justice reinvestment, an approach designed to reduce corrections spending and reinvest in strategies that can reduce recidivism and improve public safety. MENTALLY ILL OFFENDER TREATMENT CRIME AND REDUCTION ACT: coordinated efforts to secure funding for the Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act (MIOTCRA) for fiscal years 2015 and 2016. Activities included work with the Hill to submit to Congress letters in support of FY2016 funding. The FY16 Criminal, Justice, Science appropriations bills released by the House included a mark of $13 million and $10 million in the Senate. In April 2015, Senators Al Franken (D-MN) and John Cornyn (R-TX) and Congressman Doug Collins (R-GA) and Bobby Scott (D-VA) introduced the Comprehensive Justice and Mental Health Act of 2015 (which would reauthorize MIOTCRA). The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the bill by unanimous consent on April 30. CSG has had several meetings with Members of Congress to increase support for the bill. CSG also provided input on Senator Cornyn's (R-TX) Mental Health and Safe Communities Act of 2015, which also reauthorizes MIOTCRA. STATE LOBBYING: During FY15, Justice Center staff registered as lobbyists in Alabama, Nebraska and Washington State to supplement efforts to raise awareness and educate policymakers about justice reinvestment legislation in being considered by the legislature in each state. This legislation was informed by analyses and technical assistance provided to all three states at the request of their governor, legislative leaders, and other state officials. In Nebraska, Justice Center simultaneously pursued an exemption ruling from the Ethics Commission, in an effort to avoid possible registration for "rulemaking" work in Nebraska post legislation passage. The lobbyist exemption for Justice Center was issued by the Nebraska Ethics Commission in May 2015. While this exemption was issued shortly after legislation passed in Nebraska, it does address any concerns about future rulemaking work in the state the legislation implementation phase. The State of Idaho's definition of lobby also includes rulemaking work that may occur post legislation. Justice Center renewed the lobbyist registration during 2015 to complete technical assistance guidance and rulemaking work, as required by the state. As of the completion of FY15 Justice Center staff had completed all lobbyist work and terminated registrations in Idaho, Alabama, Nebraska and Washington, However, Justice Center remains listed as a Principal in Alabama (an entity that employs lobbyists) while working with a consultant to monitor budget negotiations within the state. 0 279576 279576 0 664362 404535 259827 0 122048 81342 40706 0 1801388 1542545 258843 0 0 0 0 838952 0 Due to managed organizations 11508406 11508406 34903063 45459 447015 0 0 492474 34410589 0 1731844 1731844 36142433 34008427 447015 0 0 0 447015 33561412 0 1491969 1491969 35053381 Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4b Revenues of managed organizations that operate under the same federal ID number but have different governing boards and are therefore not included in the audited financial statements.
