SPRINGFIELD A criminal justice reform bill opposed by Madison County law enforcement officials was approved Wednesday by the Illinois House of Representatives.
Just before noon, the House voted 60-50 to approve House Bill 3563, formerly known as House Bill 163. The passage came about seven hours after the Illinois Senate, at around 4 a.m. Wednesday, approved the bill 32-23.

At least two area residents, both with law enforcement backgrounds, participated in Wednesday’s protest in Washington, D.C. – and one of them was among the crowd that stormed the Capitol building – although both have condemned the violence that took place.
Jason Riddle – a former mail carrier and former corrections officer who lives in Keene – entered the building after it was breached by rioters. Meanwhile, Troy Police Chief David Ellis’s presence at the protest has drawn a call from the N.H. Democratic Party for the chief to resign.
Five people died amid the chaos, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.
