Sec. 4.
(1) The state board shall do all of the following:
(a) Adopt a variety of key performance indicators that promote offender success, ensure the effective monitoring of offenders, and evaluate community corrections programs. Performance indicators must be relevant to this act and must be reviewed on an annual basis. At least 1 of the key performance measures must be recidivism. There may be multiple recidivism measures to account for accessibility to state and national databases, local ability to collect data, and the resources needed to collect this data.

(c) Adopt an application process and procedures for funding community corrections programs, including the format for comprehensive corrections plans.
(d) Review, at least once every 3 years, the actuarial, objective, validated risk and need assessment instruments to ensure that they continue to meet the needs and requirements of community corrections.
(e) Recommend funding for community corrections to the director of the department based on program performance, utilization, targeting of appropriate offenders, and adherence to evidence-based practices.
(f) Research, review, and make recommendations regarding the use of performance-based contracts within community corrections.
