IL SB1334

Expands informant testimony disclosure requirements to apply to all felony offenses, rather than only capital cases.

Requires prosecution to timely disclose the informant's complete criminal history, any deals or inducements offered, the statements made by the accused, and timing/location details of statements and disclosures.

Mandates disclosure of whether the informant recanted testimony, other cases in which the informant testified, any benefits received in those cases, and other information relevant to credibility.

Requires courts to conduct a hearing to determine reliability of informant testimony unless the defendant waives it; prosecution must prove reliability by preponderance of evidence or testimony is excluded from trial.

Exempts lawfully recorded statements from the reliability hearing requirement and applies these requirements to all felony prosecutions initiated on or after the effective date of this amendment.
