(The Center Square) – State lawmakers could consider a variety of issues when the Illinois Legislature convenes for the final days of the 101st General Assembly starting Friday afternoon.
One of the major issues expected to be tackled during the lame-duck session could impact law enforcement and the criminal code.
House Bill 163 was amended with 611 pages this week. What was initially a measure for prescription drug monitoring turned into a measure full of changes to the state s criminal code and change to how law enforcement is regulated.
Illinois Sheriffs’ Association Executive Director Jim Kaitschuk said the measure is too broad and if ever implemented, he’d quit being a police officer immediately.
