Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker issued the following announcement on July 15.
Surrounded by sponsoring lawmakers, criminal justice reform advocates and a victim of wrongful conviction, Governor JB Pritzker signed a package of nation-leading legislation that puts Illinois at the forefront of the work to bring about true reform to the state s justice system. An essential tenet of good governance is recognizing the need to change the laws that have failed the people they serve. My administration has infused that value into everything we do, said Governor JB Pritzker. The four bills I m signing advance the rights of some of our most vulnerable in our justice system and put Illinois at the forefront of the work to bring about true reform. Together, these initiatives move us closer to a holistic criminal justice system, one that builds confidence and trust in a system that has done harm to too many people for far too long.
