Kane County courts to pilot new criminal justice changes in state including end of cash bail.
Kane County’s 16th Circuit Court is one of three courts in Illinois chosen to pilot the implementation of a sweeping criminal justice overhaul bill approved last year which includes the end of cash bail.
The other circuit court districts taking part in the pilot program are the 9th Circuit Court District, a multi-county district in western Illinois, and the 2nd Circuit Court District, a multi-county district in the far southeastern part of the state. Because of the sweeping nature of the changes, Hull said it will bring a huge shift of how criminal justice has been handled for decades. With something this new, he said there are a lot of things they’ll try to prepare for, but until it is put into practice, it is hard to anticipate every issue.
