Bill Summary · HB 4004

Legislative bill overview

HB 4004 appears to address criminal procedure related to transportation, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available filing information. Based on the title "CRIM PRO-TRANSPORTATION," the bill likely modifies existing criminal procedure statutes governing how individuals are transported within the criminal justice system—potentially covering jail transport, court appearance procedures, or related logistics.

Why is this important

Criminal procedure bills affect due process protections, law enforcement operations, and detention practices. Changes to transportation procedures can impact defendant rights, officer safety, facility operations, and taxpayer costs across Illinois's corrections system.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope of modification unclear – Without seeing the actual text, it's difficult to assess whether changes expand or restrict protections for transported individuals
  • Law enforcement vs. defendant rights – Bills touching criminal procedure often balance officer safety/efficiency against defendant protections and constitutional safeguards
  • County implementation costs – Transportation procedure changes may create new fiscal demands on local jails and sheriff's departments
