Governor Larry Hogan signed the Justice Reinvestment Act into law at the final bill signing for the 2016 session.

The omnibus act introduces reforms recommended by the Justice Reinvestment Coordinating Council (JRCC) intended to reform the criminal justice system, reduce needless correctional spending (saving the state millions), and reinvest savings into more efficient programs that reduce recidivism and improve criminal justice outcomes.
