The end of cash bail was set to begin on Jan. 1, but in a last-minute order, the Illinois Supreme Court halted the measure just hours before it was set to take effect in Illinois. So what happens now?
The Supreme Court's decision came as prepares to examine pretrial release provisions under the controversial SAFE-T Act, which was recently amended and signed into law by Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
"Had the SAFE-T Act gone into effect on January 1, 2023, while litigation is pending, the administration of justice in Illinois would have been uneven, thus harming all the citizens of the State.
“It is important to note that the order issued today by the court is not a decision on the merits of the constitutionality of the SAFE-T Act, and I appreciate the court’s interest in expediting the appeal," Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said in a statement."We look forward to mounting a robust defense of the constitutionality of the law and ensuring that it goes into effect across the state.
