Summary
The bill establishes a statewide community reinvestment account that directs at least $100 million each year to five priority areas: economic development, civil and criminal legal assistance, reentry services, violence‑intervention programs, and agricultural/economic support for historically marginalized groups. Grants must be awarded in partnership with “by and for community organizations” and are overseen by the Department of Commerce and the Office of Equity. The goal is to reduce racial, economic, and social disparities created by past drug‑related laws.
