Statement by the John Howard Association on HB 3653, the SAFE-T Act, Becoming Law

JHA is thrilled that the Governor signed House Bill (HB) 3653, omnibus criminal justice reform legislation, now known as the SAFE-T Act (Safety Accountability Fairness Equity Today) into law.   There is more work to be done, but with the enactment of this law, Illinois takes an important step towards achieving a better system for our state -- one that prioritizes equity and fairness along with public safety and smart resource allocation.
