Following the Supreme Court of Illinois’ decision in Rowe v. Raoul in 2023 – which found Illinois’ no-cash bail provisions under the State’s SAFE-T Act constitutional – the State’s Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor (ILSAAP) established its SAFE-T Act Division. This new division provides resources to State’s Attorneys’ offices throughout the State to address appeals under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 604(h). Interlocutory appeals under Rule 604(h) require a responsive pleading to be filed within 21 days. ILSAAP’s SAFE-T Act division ensures that the Supreme Court’s time-line mandate is met in a way that is professional and justice forward.
