The Naperville Park District board of commissioners is urging Gov. J.B. Pritzker to veto a major criminal justice reform bill, saying the legislation as it stands would directly affect park police and their ability to keep the community safe.
The board on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution denouncing the General Assembly's passage of House Bill 3653 in the final hours of a lame-duck session earlier this month. In the measure, park officials contend the legislative process was "fatally flawed" and lacked adequate input from law enforcement and municipal organizations statewide.
