Not a ton of surprises coming out of the General Assembly’s Veto Session.

That’s according to University of Illinois Springfield Professor Emeritus Kent Redfield.

The “No Cash Bail” portion of the Safe T Act took up much of the veto session discussion.

Redfield says Springfield didn’t ask police or local prosecutors how this legislation would impact them. 

The idea behind “No Cash Bail,” according to Redfield, is that requiring bail to get out of jail limits who can get out of jail for misdemeanors.

He also says he has no clue how this will work until Springfield implements the legislation. 

Redfield concludes with a thought that legislators will likely discuss the Safe T Act through the 2024 election cycle. Redfield appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
