Downstate Rep. Brady Says Lawmakers Could Improve Crime Bill Through Amendments

Share

As Gov. Pritzker signed a sweeping criminal justice reform bill on Tuesday, one state lawmaker says some areas of the legislation have room for improvement.

State Rep. Dan Brady says House bill 3653 has some positives, but lawmakers could improve some areas of the bill through amendments.

The Bloomington Republican said he’s disappointed in Gov. Pritzker’s decision not to meet with House Leader Jim Durkin’s offer to go over the bill line-by-line.

The 766-page bill, which abolishes cash bail, passed on a last-minute vote during the lame-duck session.
