Illinois lawmakers have submitted proposed changes to controversial criminal justice measures slated to take effect on New Year’s Day.
SPRINGFIELD — Illinois lawmakers on Wednesday submitted proposed changes to controversial criminal justice measures slated to take effect on New Year’s Day.
The proposal would seek to ensure that prosecutors have enough time prepare for detention hearings where they’d have to convince judges that defendants, especially those accused of violent crimes, remain in custody.Depending on the charges, the hearings would be held anywhere from seven to 90 days after prosecutors petition the court for one.
Opponents of the law had spread fears that it would empty county jails on Jan. 1, and allow trespassers to park on someone else’s property at the risk of nothing more than a ticket.
