Title

Colbert Co., license required to operate a community reentry program for individuals released from incarceration, co. commission authorized to establish additional licensing requirements, const. amend.

Description

Under existing law, there is no requirement that a person who operates a program helping released inmates reenter into the community be licensed by the local government authority prior to operation of the program.

This bill would propose a local amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to require a person to obtain a permit from the Colbert County Commission prior to operating a community reentry program in Colbert County; authorize the Colbert County Commission to establish requirements for the operation of the program and authorize the commission to charge a permit fee; and establish a community reentry committee for the purpose of providing for the permitting requirements of a community reentry program and for the investigation of those programs.
