State legislators in Illinois head into the year’s final session with possible changes to a controversial criminal justice law.

Supported by Democrat supermajorities in the state General Assembly and signed by recently reelected Gov. J.B Pritzker in February 2021, the Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today Act (SAFE-T Act) is set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2023.
