- A new law, effective 2018, states that defendants accused of murder will no longer be allowed to try to reduce their possible sentences using what is known as the "gay panic' defense by saying their violence was an act of passion after learning a victim was gay. And sexual orientation cannot be considered provocation for second degree murder.
- A new Ilinois law provides for wiping out low level convictions and arrests for marijuana possession. The law provides for automatic expungement of arrest records for marijuana possession under 30 grams. Expungement means police arrest records will be destroyed and court records will be wiped away from public view. To make that happen, Illinos State Police will compile records of all eligible defendants, and police will wipe their records clean on their own.
