Illinois HB3448 amends the Criminal Code to clarify circumstances where a child's life or health can be considered endangered.
Illinois HB3448 amends the Criminal Code to specify that a trier of fact may infer that a child's life or health is endangered if they are left unattended in a motor vehicle for more than 10 minutes or if a person owns a swimming pool and neglects the barrier in a way that could attract a child to fall in. The bill also defines "swimming pool" as any artificial basin of water designed for swimming, wading, floating, or diving. A violation of these provisions is a Class A misdemeanor, with subsequent violations being a Class 3 felony.
