IL SB0392

Amends the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission Act to expand the definition of "claim of torture" to include allegations occurring in any county with more than 3,000,000 inhabitants, removing the previous limitation to torture by Commander Jon Burge or officers under his supervision.

Removes language from the Commission's duties requiring priority review for cases where the convicted person is currently incarcerated solely for the crime involving alleged torture by Jon Burge or his officers.

Extends the filing deadline for torture claims from 5 years to 10 years after the effective date of the original Act.
