SPRINGFIELD – Minimum wage workers in Illinois will see a boost in their hourly pay to $12 per hour starting Jan. 1, while tenants in affordable housing units will be allowed to keep pets.

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois jnowicki@capitolnewsillinois.com

tenants to keep pets is the result of Senate Bill 154, by Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, and Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego. It provides that tenants of multifamily housing units that are acquired, built or renovated with money from the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund may keep up to two cats or one dog weighing less than 50 pounds.

SPRINGFIELD – While a new law overhauling Illinois’ system of pretrial detention continues to face scrutiny ahead of its Jan. 1 implementation date, new research suggests that the old cash-based system “results in much less pretrial detention than is generally assumed.”

That’s important, he said, because the subjects of the law are defendants who have only been charged with, not convicted of, a crime.

The new process will allow a prosecutor to petition the court for pretrial detention and a defendant is given the right to legal representation at their first hearing, with the detention hearing typically taking place within 24 or 48 hours of the first appearance in court.

Will more defendants walk free while awaiting trial because of the new law?

add data to public safety conversation

That’s according to the Loyola University of Chicago Center for Criminal Justice, which has been measuring the potential effects of the provision common ly referred to as the Pretrial Fairness Act, which will abolish cash bail come Jan. 1.

Those are just some of the more than 300 new laws that take effect in the new year.

The minimum wage increase is actually the result of a 2019 law that phases in a state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. This year, it will increase by one dollar to $12 an hour.

The law allowing public housing

It applies to residents of housing units that are designated as affordable housing for low- and very-lowincome families. The bill passed both chambers in its final form on May 30 and Gov. JB Pritzker signed it into law Aug. 6.

“What we’ve found is that, while it’s true that many people are jailed under the current cash bail system, most jail stays are brief,” researchers wrote in an Oct. 26 brief that examined data from six counties. “Most people pass through jails, being held for relatively short periods before bonding out — and that includes people charged with the kinds of serious offenses that are designated ‘detainable’ under the PFA.”

Olson said the research can’t predict whether more or fewer people will be jailed while awaiting trial once the PFA takes effect, but the makeup of jail populations is likely to change. It’s likely, researchers found, that lower-level de fendants will spend less time in jail, while stays may get longer for those accused of violent crime because they can no longer free themselves on bail.

One study estimated that a judge would not have been able to detain the defendant in 56 percent of arrests that occurred statewide in 2020 and 2021 had the PFA been in place.

Vehicle taxes: SB58 raises the private vehicle tax, which is a sales tax paid on the purchase of vehicles, by $75 for each model year where the purchase price is less than $15,000 and by $100 for vehicles priced above that amount. However, the registration fee for trailers weighing less than 3,000 pounds will drop to $36 instead of $118.

The research is nonpartisan and not conducted for advocacy purposes. It received funding from the National Institute of Justice, which is a research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice.

But another analysis showed only 19 percent of individuals with pending felony cases were in jail custody while awaiting trial on average from 2017 through 2019, with another 17 percent on electronic monitoring or pretrial supervision.

Other new laws include:

David Olson, a Loyola professor and Center co-director, spoke to Capitol News Illinois for an episode the Capitol Cast podcast. Below is a list of ques tions covered in the conversation, along with other context from CNI’s previous reporting on the topic.

How will pretrial detention change under the new law?

The PFA, passed in 2021 as part of the SAFE-T Act criminal justice reform, will end the wealth-based system that decides whether an individual is released from custody while they await trial.

It replaces it with one that allows judges greater authority to detain individ uals who are accused of violent crimes and deemed a danger to the community or a risk of fleeing prosecution. But the new system also limits judicial discretion when it comes to lesser, non-violent offenses.

College admissions: HB226, establishing the Higher Education Fair Admissions Act, prohibits public colleges and universities from requiring applicants to submit SAT, ACT or other standardized test scores as part of the admissions process, although prospective students may choose to submit them if they wish.

Under current law, bail hearings typically occur within 72 hours of arrest and last fewer than five minutes. Prosecutors detail the defendant’s charges and may recommend a bail amount. The judge then decides the conditions of their release, including how much money, if any, the defendant must post before their release.

“The concern is that in in some counties, there’s not sufficient time spent considering the decision at hand, …there isn’t adequate or sufficient legal repre sentation at that point where an important decision about liberty is being made,” Olson said.

That means about 64 percent of individuals awaiting trial for felony charges over that timespan were living in the community without any sort of supervision, the study found.

“The important caveat to that, and I think what the law seeks to address, is that they spend some time in jail,” Olson said. “And even if they spent a few days in jail, it’s disruptive to their life. And we didn’t really achieve anything if we were thinking we were achieving public safety, because we only held them for one or two days before (they posted bond).”

Another study of Cook County data showed individuals charged with an offense that would be non-detainable under the PFA paid an average of $1,646 to be released from jail in 2021. Individuals who could be held as flight risks under the PFA were required to pay an average of $4,846, while those detainable as risks to the community under the PFA could pay an average of $5,344 for release from jail.

So what are “detainable” offenses?

Under the PFA, police will maintain discretion to arrest and bring to the station any individual who is charged with a crime and deemed a threat to the public.

What’s new is that the law will create a presumption in favor of pretrial release for any individual charged with offenses for which a judge cannot deny pretrial release. That means officers are instructed to cite and release lower-lev el offenders who, under the officer’s discretion, are not deemed a threat to the

Drug prices: SB1682 requires pharmacies to post a notice informing consumers that they may request current pharmacy retail prices at the point of sale.

The PFA, he said, was designed to make detention hearings more delibera tive.

FOID card changes: HB562 enacts several changes to the Firearm Owner Identification card law. Among other things, it provides for a streamlined renewal process for FOID cards and Concealed Carry Licenses for people who voluntarily submit fingerprint records. It also allows the Illinois State Police to issue a combined FOID card and Concealed Carry License to qualified applicants, and it establishes a new Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force to take enforcement action against people with revoked FOID cards.

Black Health Matters Brings RSV Awareness Program to African American Mothers

NEW YORK, PRNewswire -- Two out of three babies will get RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) before the age of one, and RSV is the leading cause of hos pitalization for infants in this age group in the United States. The risk of contracting RSV is even higher for premature babies, which is of particular concern for African American women, who have a higher risk of giving birth to a preterm baby. This virus usually emerges in late fall, and peaks during the winter months. Symptoms of RSV can include a runny nose, congestion, sneezing, coughing, fever, lessened appetite, and wheezing, and can lead to bronchiolitis. In babies under six months, symptoms may be irritability, decreased appe tite, decreased activity and difficulty breathing.

Currently only 29% of all parents are aware of the severity of the disease, and therefore, it is crucial that parents be made aware of preventative measures that can be taken to protect their children.

October is National RSV Awareness Month, and in an effort to increase awareness of RSV among African Americans, Black Health Matters (BHM), with support

from Sanofi, is engaging in outreach efforts to young African American mothers to educate them about the disease and its warning signs. The multi-platform approach will reach the Black patient population using BHM outlets to create awareness among young mother organizations and grandmothers.

Black Health Matters (BHM) is the leading health, wellness and chronic disease interactive digital plat form dedicated to improving health outcomes among African Ameri cans. Launched in 2012, we feature informative yet dynamic presentations and conversations on relevant health conditions and disease with world class healthcare professionals that focus specifically on the medical disparities that affect the African American community. BHM empowers patients, advocates, and caregivers by providing them with the most up-to-date information on various chronic conditions—including treatment options and clinical trials—so they will better understand how to identify risk factors that directly impact them and their commu nity.

Coach Deion Sanders, appearing with student athletes Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, dis cussed his mission to not only train student athletes, but to guide boys into becoming men.

“Oftentimes these young men come in with all types of histories and a lot of them are un-fathered, and we’ve got to build them and mold them and shape them so they’re men,” said Sanders. “So you may send me a boy, but through the trials and tribulations and the teachings, we’re going to send you back a man.”

During the show the Sonic Boom of the South, the Prancing J-Settes, the JSU Cheerleaders and students helped Strahan kick-off the morning on a spirited note. Senior student Marvin Meda was prepared to talk about his experiences serving as the first Latino head drum major for the marching band when the subject flipped to him specifically.

“Marvin is an outstand ing student. He has been met with a lot of challenges, but he has definitely met those challenges head on in stride and the future is very bright for that young man,” said JSU Director of Bands Roderick Little, Ph.D.

Good Morning America surprised Meda by bringing his mother, Blanca Nieves Meda; brother Kevin Garcia Meda, and former high school band director Carlton Williams to town all the way from Dallas, Texas for the occasion.

CASH BAIL

low-level offenses can result in detention if the defendant is already on pretri al release, probation or parole.

But for the most part, the law prohibits detention of individuals accused of committing lower-level, non-violent offenses. Olson used the example of vandalism, criminal trespass where the defendant is not deemed a threat, “someone stealing a six pack of beer,” small-amount felony drug possession or low-level retail theft offenses.

There are many levels of nuance to detainability, Olson added. For ex ample, he noted, a homeless person who steals a purse might not be detained on robbery charges because it would be difficult to prove them to be a risk of willful flight. But an armed robbery with a firearm would be a detainable offense under the dangerousness standard.

“Most arrests in Illinois are for relatively minor crimes,” he said. “It’s not the crimes that get much attention from the media or the public, but most arrests are for relatively minor crimes. And so the idea is divert those from the formal trappings of this process that take time and resources.”

Olson noted judges in many counties will have more options for setting release conditions for all defendants come Jan. 1 when the Illinois Supreme Court launches its Office of Statewide Pretrial Services in about 70 counties that don’t currently offer such services.

Pretrial services and supervision can range from sending reminders about court appearances, to mandating monthly check-ins to confirm a defen dant’s address, to providing transportation, to overseeing individuals placed on electronic monitoring.

Supervision may also include court orders for counseling or treatment programs and requiring face-to-face reporting to a pre-trial service officer. Why not give judges greater authority to detain all individuals?

A frequent argument against the PFA from prosecutors and Republicans is that the new detainability standards are too limiting for judges. Some have requested Illinois implement a system similar to one adopted in New Jersey in 2017 which allows judges to detain even for misdemeanor crimes.

They’ve also argued that the standard for proving willful flight is too high and some sections of the new law are contradictory, creating wider cate gories of “non-detainable” offenses than the bill’s drafters intended.

Olson noted the question of where to draw the line on judicial discretion is important because of the finality of pretrial detention under the new system.

“Now, the stakes are a lot higher, right?” Olson said. “The decision to detain is a decision to detain, it’s not a wishy-washy on-the-fence of well, ‘We’re going to hold you but if you can come up with $1,000, you’re free.’ This is a decision about freedom. And so I think with that the argument by many is that detention should be more constrained.”

By providing lower-level offenders with a citation and scheduling them to appear in court within 21 days, Olson said, the intent of the law is to allow officers to go back to the beat rather than booking an individual, and to allow the courts to spend more time on cases where violence was involved or was likely to be involved.

It’s also something that, research has shown, has already been happen ing more frequently since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Olson said the first hearing for cited-and-released individuals would be brief and would not focus on an individual’s detention, although a judge could set conditions of pretrial release or pretrial supervision.

What could change about the new law before Jan 1?

Judicial discretion is a matter that could be reconsidered when lawmak ers return to the Capitol on Nov. 15.

A follow-up bill sponsored by former prosecutor and current Democrat ic Sen. Scott Bennett, of Champaign, would, among other things, widen judi cial authority to allow for detention of a defendant charged with any crime if the court believes they are a serious risk of skipping trial, pose a danger to the community, or are likely to threaten a potential witness or juror.

That’s a bill that Gov. JB Pritzker has said could be a launching point for discussions as lawmakers consider amendments to the PFA, although he has not endorsed all of its components.

The bill’s House sponsor and domestic violence victim advocacy groups have pushed back against that specific provision, arguing that it would over burden the court system and divert resources from more serious cases where a person’s freedom is on the line and they’re accused of violent crime.

Olson agreed that by expanding detainable individuals from roughly half of those arrested to all individuals entering the system, the intent of the law would be drastically changed by the proposed amendment.

Will those held in lieu of bail on Jan. 1 be freed under the PFA?

Nothing in the bill says that will happen, although opponents of the PFA have cited its silence on the matter as a point of concern. Pritzker said he would like it made explicit in a follow-up bill that individuals held in lieu of bail when the bill takes effect will not be released.

City Colleges of Chicago Outperforms the State and National Averages for Fall Enrollment

CHICAGO – City Colleges of Chicago (CCC)’s fall 2022 enrollment is up 6.9 percent year over year, exceeding the Illinois community college average of +1.5% and the national average (flat), according to a report published Friday by the Illinois Community College Board.

Enrollment in a combination of credit and adult education programs has increased at six of its colleges: Harry S Truman (+11.5%), Kennedy-King (+17.4%), Malcolm X (+11.6%), Olive-Harvey (+14.8%), Richard J. Daley (+5.5%), and Wilbur Wright (+3.6%). The number of Adult Education students alone grew by 16.6 percent – an increase of 1,098 students –from fall 2021.

The increase in enrollment comes after City Colleges has embarked on targeted efforts to enhance and expand college resources and offerings in recent years, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The seven City Colleges are meeting the needs of the Chicago economy with quality, in-demand programs in transportation, distribution and logistics, cannabis studies, manufacturing, IT, early childhood education, engineering, healthcare, and more. City Colleges launched Future Ready in 2021 to help eligible Chicagoans gain credentials and prepare for in-demand careers in many of those industries at no cost.

Additionally, opportunities such as the Star Scholarship have been strengthened to ensure that high-achieving students can attend college even if they cannot afford it. This year’s class of Star Scholars was the largest awarded and enrolled to date, with 1,597 students attending all seven colleges. The scholarship is one of many opportunities offered through the

Chicago Roadmap, an unprecedented partnership between Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and City Colleges of Chica go launched in 2020 to create a seamless transition for CPS students to post-secondary options. CCC also offers Workforce Equity Initiatives and makes many scholarships, waivers, and grants available to students to help them attend college.

The positive enrollment numbers in Adult Education reflect the strong leadership and determined students in the program, which offers free English as a Second Language and high school diploma preparation classes. The Adult Education Department has been focused on strengthening community partnerships, linking adult learners to career pathways, and expanding its reach to help more students reach their goals.

Through enrollment management and strategic marketing efforts, City Colleges is making a concerted effort to educate the public on all the community college system has to offer, including in-demand, high-growth career pathways, transfer options for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree, and supports for adult learners looking to return to the classroom.

The NEA Big Read: Indigenous Stories will launch Nov. 19

free public event at the Field Museum’s Native Truths: Our Voices, Our Stories exhibition.

CHICAGO – Illinois Humanities will host a series of free book groups, events, and handson workshops about contemporary Indigenous stories in partnership with communities native to the greater Chicago area. The NEA Big Read: In digenous Stories launches in November – Native American Heritage Month – with book groups and events running through April 2023.

The books featured in the series encourage conversations about Native experiences and explore themes of freedom, belonging, and dis placement. English-language book groups will read There There by Tommy Orange (Cheyenne and Arapaho) and Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Diaz (Mojave). A Spanish-language book group hosted at the Little Village Public Library will read Spanish translations of There There, as well as Luna Nueva (New Moon) by Enriqueta Lunez, a Mexican poet who writes in Spanish, English, and Tsotsil. Book groups will be hosted by libraries, bookstores, and Illinois Humanities partners throughout Chicago, and more partners will join the series and host groups in the winter and spring. Individuals who join a book group will receive free copies of Indigenous Stories titles. Quantities are limited, and participants are encouraged to sign up soon.

“We are honored to launch this program during Native American Heritage Month in

partnership with contemporary Native leaders in Illinois,” said Gabrielle Lyon, Executive Director of Illinois Humanities. “Reading together and participating in community events with leaders like SANTIAGO X and the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian helps ensure we can raise awareness about both the historical and contem porary experiences of Native people in Illinois.”

In addition to free community book groups, Illinois Humanities is partnering with sever al cultural organizations to host public events and workshops throughout Chicago to connect readings with contemporary experiences of local Native communities. Scheduled events include: a launch celebration at the Field Museum on Saturday, Nov. 19, including a complimentary visit and presentation of the Field Museum’s Native Truths: Our Voices, Our Stories exhibi tion; a panel and community discussion with members of Chicago’s Native communities about the lasting impact of the Indian Urban Relocation Program, hosted by the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian on November 30; and a handson workshop exploring the Newberry Library’s Edward E. Ayer Collection, one of the strongest collections on American Indian and Indigenous Studies in the world, on January 21. More events to be announced for winter and spring include writing workshops and a presentation by Indig

enous futurist artist SANTIAGO X at the Coil Mound installation in Horner Park, hosted by the Chicago Public Art Group.

“The Indigenous Stories program features books by Indigenous authors whose stories have a lot to teach us about what it means to not just acknowledge the history of the land we occupy, but to admit the truth of it, pass it on, and attempt to heal from it,” said Rebecca Amato, Director of Teaching and Learning at Illinois Humanities. “The public events and experiences that Illinois Humanities and our partners have designed to coincide with these texts give us the space to do this work together; because honoring history and ‘living right’ starts with listening to one another.”

The NEA Big Read: Indigenous Stories’ free book groups will begin reading and meeting for book discussions in November and December. Interested participants can join a book group through Illinois Humanities’ website, or can start a book group of their own using a DIY book group toolkit, available later this November.

Learn more about The NEA Big Read: Indigenous Stories, join or start a book group, and register for the program launch event at ILHumanities.org/BigRead.

Karmanos Cancer Institute partners

top cancer organizations to endorse initiative to increase lung cancer screening in the United States

DETROIT, PRNewswire -- The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute has partnered with more than 50 cancer organizations across the country to issue a call to action urging individuals, providers and insurers to increase access to and utilization of low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans for those at high risk for lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the Unit ed States, accounting for almost 25% of all cancer deaths. Despite advances in treatment and successful efforts to reduce smoking, the disease kills more than 350 people in the U.S. each day — but it doesn’t have to be this way. If all people who should be screened for lung cancer got screened, we can save tens of thousands of lives, and tens of millions of dollars. Lung cancer is so deadly because it is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage when treatment options are lim ited and outcomes are poor.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual screening for people ages 50-80 who have smoked for at least 20 years. However, only 5.7% of eligible Americans were screened for lung cancer before the COVID-19 pandemic — compared to screening rates for breast, cervical and colon cancers that hover between 60% and 80%. And we know screen ing rates have decreased for all cancers due to the pandemic.

The new effort also aligns with and supports the national Cancer Moonshot initiative, which aims to reduce cancer deaths by 50% over the next 25 years. Lung cancer screening is one easy way to help reach that goal. This call to action provides guidance for national support, including public funding and health policy changes needed to signifi cantly improve lung cancer screening participation.

Two major barriers to screening are coverage and access. While low-dose CT screening for lung cancer is covered by Medicare and most private insurance plans, the pre-authorization process can delay the procedure by several days and place an unnecessary burden on community providers. Additionally, a recent study by the American Cancer Society found that at least 5% of those eligible for low-dose CT scans live more than 40 miles from a screening facility — and that percentage jumps to nearly 25% for screening-eligible individuals in rural areas.

If a patient is eligible for lung cancer screenings, they should inquire with their primary care physician about Karmanos’ Lung Cancer Screening Program. For more information, visit karmanos.org/ lungscreening or call 1-800-KARMANOS.

The Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research Hosts Virtual Symposium

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., PRNewswire -- The Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research (FSCDR), the US’s first outpatient center exclusively dedicated to the treatment of, and innovative research for, Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), will host a virtual symposium on November 10th. Access to quality care in SCD is under threat of regression, while the SCD patient-to- provider ratio is worsening. In response to these critical obstacles, the one-day sym posium will focus on the subject matter of Sickle Cell Disease: Orphans & Burned Out Practitioners.

Led by Scientific Chair Dr. Daniel Armstrong, Executive Vice Chair of Pediatrics, and Director of the Mailman Center for Child Development at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine, participants will experi ence a solution-oriented day to help prevent SCD providers from burnout, and to provide care to the unprecedented number of SCD children exiting the feathered child health nest, transitioning into orphaned patients sans a medical home.

This symposium is offering six CME credits to attendees, while sickle cell warriors and their caretakers are invited to participate in the symposium at no cost.

Consisting of 10 half-hour sessions, the symposium will address topics ranging from patient-physician relationship stress, to transitioning to adult healthcare, and sickle cell provider burnout. The full agenda from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET can be found at fscdr.org. The Symposium will be available for regis trants to re-watch afterward.

“It took nearly 100 years before we began seeing significant advances in care of children and adults with sickle cell disease, and those changed the life experience for many. Sadly, those significant advances are at risk of being derailed because SCD clinicians and investigators are leaving the field, some because of retirement, some because of their own illness or death, but many because of burnout,” said Dr. Armstrong. “Restoring the committed SCD workforce is critical to continued improvements for the individuals who live with SCD every day.”

The Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research (FSCDR) is a compre hensive, multi-specialty medical and research center in addition to non-profit organization, that provides a platform for researchers, healthcare providers, individuals and their families living with sickle cell disease. For more informa tion please visit www.fscdr.org.

Meet the new Kipu. With Kipu’s more than 10 years shaping the behavioral health tech nology industry, our new brand represents how the company is shifting its focus to improve how the entire behavioral health ecosystem operates, interacts, communicates and heals. PRNewsfoto/Kipu Health.
