The Governor is expressing optimism that the Pre-Trial Fairness Act will be allowed to be implemented.  But if that doesn’t happen, he says they will be back at it.

“The court system will make a ruling through the Supreme Court sometime in the next few months.  I’m disappointed that there is a delay in the implementation.  Justice shouldn’t be delayed.  And we want our neighborhoods to be safer and putting Pre-Trial Fairness Act will make our neighborhoods safer.”

Governor Pritzker says he’s confident the Law is Constitutional and says he expects a ruling sometime in the next few months.  In the meantime, the State Supreme  Court has issued a stay while the matter is under review.
