SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WREX) — An Illinois State Representative re-introduced a bill to have elected officials in the state to wear body cameras.
Rep. John Cabello (R) of the 68th district, has filed House Bill 4605. It is an exact replica of a bill Cabello filed last year, House Bill 3447.
The bill would require all state lawmakers to wear body cameras while conducting government business.
Under the bill, officials found to be in violation of the law would be subject to fines.
When Cabello filed the bill in 2019, he said it would help reduce corruption at the state and local levels.
Here's the statement Rep. Cabello gave 13 WREX when we asked about the bill:
“Let's look at some of the headlines throughout the last few months,” Rep. Cabello said. “All we hear about is corruption on the part of certain lawmakers. And tell me, if they had a body camera on, do you think this would have happened? There are folks that want law enforcement to wear a body camera from the time they start work until the time they end work. You know what, if it's good enough for law enforcement, then it's good enough for elected officials as well.”
HB 3447 made it to the Rules Committee in March of 2019, but never made it further than that.
