Illinois HB3632 establishes rights for families of homicide victims, including case file reviews and full reinvestigations.
HB3632, known as the Homicide Victims' Families' Rights Act, provides families of homicide victims with the right to request a case file review and, if warranted, a full reinvestigation of unresolved murders. The bill defines an "open unresolved murder" as any criminal activity where death occurred more than three years prior, all investigative leads have been exhausted, and no likely perpetrator has been identified. Families can request a case file review, which must be conducted by an agency that did not previously investigate the murder.
