House Sponsors: CURRIE. Short description: CRIM PRO-INTERROGATIONS Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that an oral, written, or sign language statement of a defendant, made as a result of a custodial interrogation conducted at a police station or other place of detention on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act is inadmissible as evidence against the defendant in any capital trial, unless: (1) an electronic video and audio recording is made of the custodial interrogation; (2) before the custodial interrogation but during the recording, the defendant is given certain warnings of his or her rights; (3) that prior to the statement but during the recording, the defendant waives these rights; (4) the recording is accurate and has not been altered; (5) all voices on the recording are identifiable; and (6) not later than the 20th day before the date of any criminal proceeding at which the statement is to be admitted as evidence against the defendant, the attorney representing the defendant is permitted to review a true, complete, and accurate copy of all recordings of the defendant made under this Section. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois State Police) If HB 6051 were to become law there would be a fiscal impact on the Illinois State Police (ISP) of approximately $950,000 relating to equipment acquisition. Furthermore, ISP would incur an undetermined additional amount related to capital expenditures which would be necessary to modify existing structures to comply with the Act, as well as undefined costs associated with officer training. JUDICIAL NOTE (Office of Illinois Courts) It is not anticipated that the bill would increase the number of judges needed in the State.
