SENATE REPUBLICANS ARE UNVEILING A LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE TO HELP REDUCE VIOLENT CRIME IN ILLINOIS.

THE SENATE G-O-P INTRODUCED A SIMILAR PROPOSAL BACK IN OCTOBER, BUT THE BILLS WERE NEVER CONSIDERED. IT’S TIME FOR THEIR DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES TO DEBATE THESE IDEAS AND STOP THE CONTINUED INCREASE IN CRIME SAYS SENATOR CHAPIN ROSE OF MAHOMET.

THE PLAN REPEALS A NEW STATE LAW THAT ENDS CASH BAIL FOR MANY OFFENDERS AND SETS A MINIMUM SENTENCE OF 10 YEARS TO LIFE FOR VIOLENT FIREARM CRIMES SAYS SENATOR STEVE MCCLURE OF SPRINGFIELD. ADDITIONALLY…

THE PACKAGE ALSO CREATES A FUND FOR POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO PAY FOR THINGS LIKE BODY CAMERA MANDATES AND HIRING AND TRAINING OFFICERS. G-O-P SENATORS ARE URGING THEIR DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES TO LET THESE IDEAS BE DEBATED AND CALLED FOR A VOTE.
