Illinois Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the SAFE-T Act
The law was suspended less than a month after going into effect in 2023.
State lawmakers passed a law eliminating cash bail, as part of the SAFE-T Act, that went into effect Jan. 1. But some prosecutors filed lawsuits challenging the law’s constitutionality, putting the law on hold a week into the new year.
Reset discusses oral arguments heard by the Illinois Supreme Court Tuesday morning.
