AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Act and the Uniform Crime Reporting Act to establish a new system of homicide and aggravated assault reporting. Beginning January 1, 2026, the Illinois State Police will be required to submit detailed crime statistics to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority on a quarterly basis. The Authority will then study, compile, and publish this information on its public website, providing transparency about crime statistics for each law enforcement agency. The published information will include the number of homicides, aggravated assaults with a firearm, cases with arrests, cases cleared or closed through other means (such as the perpetrator being deceased or incarcerated), and cases referred to the State's Attorney for prosecution. This bill aims to create a more comprehensive and accessible system of crime data reporting, allowing the public and policymakers to better understand crime trends and law enforcement outcomes across different jurisdictions in Illinois.
