U.S. Senate kills locally-backed criminal justice commission
NACo supports the National Criminal Justice Commission Act (S. 306) because a state and local government perspective is one of the itemized expertise areas. NACo feels that establishing the Commission will assist in improving the public safety, cost effectiveness, administration of the nation's criminal justice system. The legislation establishes a Commission which will undertake a comprehensive review of the criminal justice system, encompassing federal, state, local, and tribal criminal justice policies and practices, and make reform recommendations for the President, Congress, state, local, and tribal governments. The bill authorizes $14 million over two years.
Jim Philipps is NACo's Media Relations Manager. He has worked in media and government communications inside and outside of Washington, D.C. for nearly 20 years.
