ILLINOIS — Governor JB Pritzker is set to make changes to the state’s Mandatory Supervised Release System (MSRS) when he signs Senate Bill 423 into law.
SB423 will bring several changes to the MSRS including:
- Parolee or releasee will submit to a urinalysis test only if there is documented, reasonable suspicion of illicit drug use
- The Prisoner Review Board shall, rather than may, reduce the period of mandatory supervision when certain educational milestones are achieved
- Eliminates several conditions related to release of a minor
- Allows for the use of technology in lieu of appearing in person for required reporting or meetings by the parolee or releasee
- Requires the Prisoner Review Board to provide a list of steps or requirements for granting early discharge
Pritzker is scheduled to sign the bill at a Friday event featuring rapper/activist Meek Mill, entrepreneur Michael Rubin, and REFORM Alliance.
WGN plans to livestream the bill signing event within this story beginning at approximately 9 a.m.
