IL HB2356

State's Attorneys may petition courts to impound vehicles used in committing first degree murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated battery with a firearm, reckless discharge of a firearm, or any other firearm-related offense involving a vehicle.

Vehicle owners who are not defendants may have their vehicles impounded if they knew or should have known the vehicle was being used to commit one of the specified offenses.

Courts may order vehicle impoundment for a maximum of 90 days if they find probable cause that the vehicle was used in commission of any qualifying offense.

Establishes new Section 108-15 in the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
