Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Uniform Crime Reporting Act. Provides that a law enforcement agency shall publish monthly on its website, and submit to the Illinois State Police in a form, manner, and frequency as required by the Illinois State Police, the following information that occurred in the law enforcement agency's jurisdiction: (1) how many homicides occurred in a month based on the time of death of a victim; (2) how many of the homicides had an alleged perpetrator arrested and charged; and (3) how many homicides are considered cleared or closed for a reason other than the arrest and charging of an alleged perpetrator. Provides that information required to be published on a law enforcement agency's website must be published on the website by the end of the month following the reporting month. Effective January 1, 2025.
House Committee Amendment No. 1 Provides that a law enforcement agency shall publish monthly on its website and submit to the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (rather than only to the Illinois State Police) specified information, and provides that the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority may publish and make publicly available this information (with the Illinois State Police required to publish the information on its public website, rather than website). Requires the following information to additionally be published and submitted: how many nonfatal shootings occurred in a month; how many cases were cleared because the alleged perpetrator is deceased, the case was rejected by the prosecutor, the suspect is currently incarcerated, or other exceptional means outside of law enforcement's control; and how many of specified cases were referred to the relevant State's Attorney office for prosecution.
House Committee Amendment No. 2 Provides that the report a law enforcement agency must publish monthly must include how many homicides occurred in a month based on the time of the injury that caused the death (rather than time of death) of a victim.
