Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission Act. Provides that the powers and duties of the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission include conducting inquiries into claims of torture (rather than "inquiries into claims of torture, with priority to be given to those cases in which the convicted person is currently incarcerated solely for the crime to which he or she claims torture by Jon Burge or officers under his command, or both").

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
775 ILCS 40/5
775 ILCS 40/70

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill, and makes the following changes: (1) changes the definition of "claim of torture" by deleting language limiting the definition to circumstances where the torture was allegedly committed by Commander Jon Burge or any officer under the supervision of Jon Burge; and (2) provides that the Act applies to claims of torture filed not later than 10 (instead of 5) years after the effective date of the Act.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 4
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the amended bill, and makes the following change: changes the definition of "claim of torture" by expanding it to include torture occurring within a county of more than 3,000,000 inhabitants (currently, circumstances where the torture was allegedly committed by Commander Jon Burge or any officer under the supervision of Jon Burge). Effective immediately.
