IL SB2771

Extends the sunset date for subsection (q) of Section 14-3 of the Criminal Code from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2017, allowing law enforcement to continue recording drug offense investigations with State's Attorney verbal approval for an additional 2 years

Maintains the requirement that State's Attorneys grant verbal approval only after determining reasonable cause exists that a specified individual will commit a drug offense within a designated time period

Limits recordings to 24 consecutive hours and requires recordings to be used only in prosecutions of drug offenses or forcible felonies committed during drug investigations

Preserves the provision that conversations unrelated to drug offenses or forcible felonies cannot be used as evidence and must not be publicly disclosed

Ensures that conversations recorded under this exception remain admissible in court after the January 1, 2017 sunset date
