‘Potential chaos’ after judge strikes down cashless bail in parts of Illinois – Center Square

According to the Kankakee County State’s Attorney, the ruling means the bail reforms spelled out in the law will not take effect in the 64 counties that filed lawsuits challenging the measure. State Rep. Patrick Windhorst explained, "So we are here now with potential chaos that may ensue beginning Jan. 1. We will have counties throughout the state which will have a cash bail system and counties throughout the state which will potentially not have the cash bail system or it will be eliminated.”
