Illinois HB4771 mandates criminal justice agencies to share data with bona fide researchers for evidence-based policy development.
HB4771, the Law Enforcement Data Sharing Act, requires criminal justice agencies to provide bona fide researchers with access to criminal justice data and records. This includes information on law enforcement stops, searches, seizures, warrants, arrests, citations, and other criminal justice activities. Bona fide researchers must agree to use the data solely for research purposes and cannot identify specific individuals in their reports. The act also allows agencies to charge reasonable fees for data retrieval, which they can waive at their discretion.
