SUPERVISION SYSTEM THAT IMPROVES PUBLIC SAFETY AND SUPPORTS SUCCESSFUL
REENTRY
(Ms. LEE of Florida asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. LEE of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Safer
Supervision Act, a bipartisan bill backed by Federal law enforcement,
probation officers, and public defenders. This broad coalition shares a
common goal: a supervision system that improves public safety and
supports successful reentry.
Today, more than 110,000 Americans are on supervision. Probation
officers are carrying caseloads so large that it is difficult to focus
on the individuals who truly need the greatest oversight.
The Safer Supervision Act restores individualized judicial
decisionmaking, creates a responsible path to early termination, allows
treatment-based responses, and focuses resources where they make the
greatest impact.
This is smart-on-crime reform that strengthens safety and supports
second chances.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the Safer Supervision
Act.
