For the third year in a row, low-wage workers in Illinois are getting a raise.
After the 2020 legislative session was truncated by the coronavirus pandemic, this year turned into a busy one for Illinois lawmakers and Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
But this year’s pay raise comes amid concerns that rising prices are cutting into workers’ paychecks. The body camera requirement is part of more expansive criminal justice legislation passed by the General Assembly in early 2021 that was a major plank of the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus social justice platform. Overall, the legislation has been widely criticized by the Republican minority in the legislature as the GOP seeks to make rising crime a central issue in campaigns up and down the ballot in 2022.
Judges may consider myriad factors including an inmate’s disciplinary record while incarcerated, their reduced risk for committing future violence, and if their health has worsened.The state’s definition of a hate crime is being expanded to include acts of violence, theft or a host of other offenses against another person because of their immigration or citizenship status.
