The Crime and Justice Institute (CJI), in partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts’ Public Safety Performance Project, provided technical assistance to the Commission, bringing expertise in data and systems analysis and evidence-based correctional practices to support the Commission in reaching its goals.

The policy recommendations generated were developed into legislation in the form of House Bill 348, which passed by overwhelming majorities in both legislative chambers and was signed into law by Governor Gary Herbert on April 9th, 2015.
