The bill passed in the General Assembly’s lame-duck session on January 13th. Earlier this week Sen Rezin. discussed the bill with the Illinois Sheriff’s Association regarding their concerns.
Rezin says she agrees that police officers should wear body cameras, but the cost and impact will be on the taxpayers. Rezin shared this link to contact Governor J.B. Pritzker:
