IL SB1830

Expands informant testimony requirements to apply to prosecutions under multiple Criminal Code sections (9-1, 9-1.2, 9-2, 9-2.1, 9-3, 9-3.2, 9-3.3, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, or 20-1.1), not just capital cases.

Requires prosecution to disclose at least 30 days before trial or evidentiary hearing the informant's complete criminal history, any deals or benefits offered, the accused's statements, time/place of statements, any recantations, prior testimony in other cases, and credibility information.

Mandates courts conduct a reliability hearing to determine if informant testimony is reliable before trial, unless defendant waives the hearing, with prosecution bearing burden of proof by preponderance of evidence.

Allows courts to permit shorter notice periods if the informant was not known prior to the 30-day deadline and could not have been discovered through reasonable diligence, with trial continuances tolling speedy trial deadlines.

Applies to all criminal prosecutions under the specified sections on or after the effective date of this amendatory act of the 100th General Assembly.
