| Bill | CIV PRO-INFORMANT'S PRIVILEGE | Amends the Code of Civil Procedure to create an informant's privilege. Provides that if an individual (i) submits information concerning a criminal act to a law enforcement agency or to a community organization that acts as an intermediary in reporting to law enforcement and (ii) requests anonymity, then the identity of that individual is privileged and confidential and is not subject to discovery or admissible in evidence in a proceeding. Provides that there is no privilege if a court, after a hearing in camera, finds that the party seeking discovery or the proponent of the evidence has shown that: (1) the identity of an individual who submits information concerning a criminal act is sought or offered in a court proceeding involving a felony or misdemeanor; (2) the evidence is not otherwise available; and (3) nondisclosure infringes upon a constitutional right of an accused, or there is a need for the evidence that substantially outweighs the interest in protecting confidentiality. Provides that the court may impose such sanctions as are necessary to enforce its order. | us/states/il | Illinois General Assembly | 94th | HB 598 | Illinois HB 598 (94th) |
