CNTY JAIL-RELEASE PRISNRS-POLI                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the County Jail Act.  Requires county  sheriffs  to  adopt      
   and  implement  a  written  policy  that  provides  for the release of      
   persons in the  custody  of  the  sheriff  to  other  law  enforcement      
   personnel  or  the  State's  Attorney  for  the  purpose of furthering      
   investigations into criminal matters.    Provides that the sheriff  is      
   not  liable  for any injury to the person released or to a third party      
   during the period that the person released is in the custody of  other      
   law  enforcement personnel or the State's Attorney, unless the sheriff      
   or a deputy sheriff, correctional  guard,  lockup  keeper,  or  county      
   employee  is  guilty  of  willful  and wanton conduct that proximately      
   caused the injury.  Effective immediately.                                  
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Deletes the provisions concerning the release of prisoners.            
   Amends the County Jail Act. Reinserts the provisions of the bill as         
   introduced. Provides that the county sheriff may adopt and implement        
   a written policy for the release of a person in the custody of the          
   sheriff to law enforcement personnel or the State's Attorney for the        
   purpose of furthering criminal investigations that are unrelated to         
   the matter for which the person is in custody (instead of for the           
   purpose of furthering criminal investigations). Sets minimum require-       
   ments for a policy for the release of persons in custody to law             
   enforcement personnel and the State's Attorney.                             
          FISCAL NOTE (Office of Illinois Courts)                              
          There would be no fiscal impact on the judicial branch.              
          FISCAL NOTE (Illinois State Police)                                  
          SB 21 would have no fiscal impact on the Illinois State Police.
