(Undated) – The “Reform Act” is now law in Illinois. The new law will work to transform the state’s probation and supervised release system. The “Reform Act” was passed with bipartisan support. Starting in 2024 the probation system will incentivize people on parole to get a degree or career certification and strive to address supervision in a much more individualized approach. The “Reform Act” will also only require drug testing when suspicion warrants and allows for virtual check-ins for parolees so they can better keep up with work, education, or childcare.
