Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:49:53 GMT

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (NEXSTAR) - The legal battle over the SAFE-T Act is reaching its final chapters. The Illinois Supreme Court officially took the case under advisement Tuesday morning after hearing oral arguments from both sides. A group of state's attorneys are suing the state over the constitutionality of the SAFE-T Act. The law was signed by the governor in 2021, and it was supposed to eliminate cash bail on January 1, 2023. FACT CHECK: What does the SAFE-T Act really do? The state's attorneys allege the only way the state can go about eliminating cash bail is through a constitutional amendment, since Article 9 of the 1970 Illinois Constitution states that "All persons shall be bailable by sufficient sureties." "The simple way for the legislature to accomplish all of these reforms. Take the question, put it on a ballot, propose it to the people let them vote on it," Kankakee County State's Attorney Jim Rowe said in the courtroom.The Attorney General's office argues it's wrong ...
