Illinois Sheriffs Association expects no changes to the SAFE T Act as lawmakers return – Center Square

"We shed some light on the concerns we have, and states attorneys have and how we would address some of those things," said Jim Kaitschuck of the Illinois Sheriffs Association. "Ultimately, now the case has been presented now, it's a matter of making a determination as to what the General Assembly is able to change or wants to change."

Mark – With WRA passing, won’t police unions across the state be able to bargain against some of the things in the SAFE T Act that relate directly to labor? Constitutional amendment supersedes state law.

Assuming this is possible, I could see a lot of these downstate AG and sheriff offices who came out against the Act bargaining favorably with officers. Theoretically, that would leave a patchwork law with different applications across the state.
