SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Pritzker is comfortable that the Illinois Supreme court will uphold the no-cash bail portion of the Safe-T Act.
The pre-trial fairness act was ruled unconstitutional by a Kankakee county judge, and now the state has appealed to the Supreme court.
“The court system will make a ruling on it through the Supreme Court sometime over the next few months,” said Gov. Pritzker. “I’m disappointed that there’s a delay in the implementation; justice shouldn’t be delayed, and we want our neighborhoods to be safer, and putting the pre-trial fairness act into effect will make our neighborhood safer.”
Gov. Pritzker added that he’s confident the law is constitutional.
