SB0179 amends the Illinois Unified Code of Corrections to revise the procedure for medical release of inmates. It requires the Prisoner Review Board to publish a decision letter when denying an eligible petitioner's application for medical release, outlining the reason for denial and including an explanation of each statutory factor and the estimated annual cost of the petitioner's continued incarceration, including medical care. The bill mandates that hearings on medical release applications are public unless the petitioner requests a non-public hearing.
