The governor signed two bills designed to improve outcomes for Illinois youth who become involved with the criminal justice system.

In 2015, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into law bills restricting the transfer of juvenile offenders to adult court, establishing rules for the use of body cameras by police, and creating an expedited process in Cook County to resolve cases involving certain low-level offenses.

Changes to transfer policy will keep more minors under juvenile supervision, where they belong.
