CHICAGO (WLS) Governor JB Pritzker signed a sweeping police reform bill into law Monday.
Pritzker signed House Bill 3653, also known as the Police and Criminal Justice Reform Bill, at Chicago State University on the South Side. This bill was infused with the power of individuals most directly impacted, survivors of domestic violence, survivors of crime and those who have been detained pre-trial only because they are poor. We are a stronger state when we lift up these voices, Governor Pritzker said.
