IL SB1332

Requires electronic recording of custodial interrogations of minors under age 17 at police stations or detention facilities for offenses including murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery, burglary, and other serious crimes listed in the Criminal Code.

Statements made during custodial interrogations without electronic recording are presumed inadmissible in criminal and juvenile court proceedings unless the State proves an exception applies or voluntariness by preponderance of evidence.

Establishes similar electronic recording requirements for adult suspects in custodial interrogations for the same specified serious offenses, with statements presumed inadmissible without proper recording.

Allows limited exceptions for statements made in open court, grand jury testimony, out-of-state interrogations, spontaneous statements, routine booking questions, and when recording is not feasible, provided the State bears the burden of proof.

Requires preservation of electronic recordings until final conviction and exhaustion of all appeals, and makes recordings confidential under the Freedom of Information Act.
