The Illinois Supreme Court is not expected to render a decision on the constitutionality of the Pre-Trial Fairness Act until April. The appeal to a Kankakee County Judge's ruling was filed last week from attorneys for Governor JB Pritzker, Attorney General Kwame Raoul, Senate President Dan Harmon, and Speaker Chris Welch. While the "cashless bail" portion of the SAFE-T Act was thrown out, other parts are still in effect says Knox County State's Attorney Jeremy Karlin. "The Pre-Trial Fairness Act -- no cash bail, is the only thing that's been affected by this decision," Karlin told WGIL in an interview on Wednesday. "Other parts of the statute that requires law enforcement to have body cameras, requires additional training, things like that. That remains in place and is unaffected by this recent decision." "Do we need the Pre-Trial Fairness Act in Knox County? I don't think we did. Knox County State's Attorney sounds off cash-bail elimination bill Karlin says that one of three outcomes could come from the appeal. The Illinois Supreme Court could find the PFA constitutional and set a new effective date. It could find it unconstitutional and leave it to the legislature to determine a new path for bail reform. Or, it could find it unconstitutional and issue its own rules for reforming or eliminating cash bail. He says he will continue to monitor the situation and will prepare the State's Attorney's office for every possible outcome from the state high court's decision.
