Bill Summary
Encourages the State Court of Claims to pause on Certificate of Innocence payouts if requested by the Certificate of Innocence awards and their attorney(s) until the legislature works through the nuances of the Certificate of Innocence statutory language by June 30, 2026.
AI Summary
This resolution encourages the Illinois State Court of Claims to temporarily halt Certificate of Innocence (COI) payouts if requested by the award recipients and their lawyers. The pause would allow the Illinois General Assembly more time to refine the statutory language governing these awards, with a deadline of June 30, 2026. The resolution stems from ongoing efforts to make COI awards more equitable and align them with federal recommended minimum standards. While all interested parties agree that changes are necessary, they have been unable to agree on the specific language needed to modify the existing statute (705 ILCS 505). By providing this temporary pause mechanism, the resolution gives the legislature additional time to carefully craft more precise and fair statutory language for Certificate of Innocence awards.
