Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB0353

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides for a 4-year traffic stop statistical study requiring State law enforcement officers to record on the face of a uniform traffic citation or warning citation the race of the motorist and whether there was a search of the vehicle, vehicle driver, or passenger resulting in no further legal action. Requires the Director of State Police to compile data obtained from the traffic citation as to the race of the motorist and searches of vehicles, vehicle drivers, and passengers that resulted in no further legal action and forward that data to the Secretary of State. Requires the Secretary of State to study that data to determine if there is a pattern of discrimination throughout the State regarding traffic stops and to report to the Governor and General Assembly, without identifying individuals stopped or law enforcement officers. Effective immediately.
