AI Summary

This bill amends the Freedom of Information Act and the Expressway Camera Act to enhance law enforcement capabilities and protect certain types of camera and license plate reader information. Specifically, the bill exempts images from expressway cameras and all automated license plate reader (ALPR) information collected by the Illinois State Police from public inspection, and expands the definition of "forcible felony" to include human trafficking and involuntary servitude. The bill adds Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside counties to the camera program and allows law enforcement agencies to use camera images for active investigations, with a requirement that exported images be deleted from law enforcement databases within 120 days unless they are relevant to an ongoing investigation or pending criminal trial. Additionally, the bill allows the Attorney General or local State's Attorney to prosecute certain offenses committed on monitored expressways, and extends the sunset date of the Expressway Camera Act from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2028. The legislation aims to support law enforcement efforts to combat serious crimes while providing guidelines for the use and retention of camera and license plate reader data.
