Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission Act. Provides that "claim of torture" includes torture occurring within a county of more than 3,000,000 inhabitants (instead of torture allegedly committed by Commander Jon Burge or any officer under the supervision of Jon Burge). Provides that the powers and duties of the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission include conducting inquiries into claims of torture (instead of "inquiries into claims of torture, with priority to be given to those cases in which the convicted person is currently incarcerated solely for the crime to which he or she claims torture by Jon Burge or officers under his command, or both"). Provides that the Act applies to claims of torture filed not later than 10 (instead of 5) years after the effective date of the Act. Effective immediately.
