IL SB3683

Creates the Student Confidential Reporting Act establishing "Safe2Help Illinois," a 24/7 statewide helpline operated by Illinois State Police to receive reports from the public about potential self-harm, threats, or criminal acts directed at K-12 students, school employees, or schools

Requires the helpline to accept reports via toll-free telephone, social media, website, text, and photographic messages, with the Illinois State Police responsible for reviewing tips and forwarding information to local law enforcement and school officials

Mandates that existing State-run school violence help lines (except the CPS Violence Prevention Hotline) redirect calls to Safe2Help Illinois once operational and be disconnected within 6 months; Safe2Help Illinois must coordinate with the CPS Violence Prevention Hotline for Chicago-related incidents

Protects confidentiality of all reports submitted to the program, exempting them from Freedom of Information Act disclosure, with intentional unauthorized disclosure classified as a Class C misdemeanor; records must be maintained for at least 5 years

Provides civil and criminal immunity to Safe2Help Illinois employees and law enforcement officials acting in good faith when handling tips, except in cases of willful or wanton misconduct; requires annual reporting to the Governor and General Assembly on program effectiveness
