SB2165

Illinois SB2165 amends the Criminal Code to redefine bribery and legislative misconduct to include the receipt of property or personal advantage.

Illinois SB2165 amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to redefine bribery and legislative misconduct. It specifies that bribery includes the receipt of property or personal advantage after the improper act has been performed, not just the intent to influence the act. Similarly, legislative misconduct now includes the receipt of property or personal advantage after the improper act has been performed. The bill also clarifies that these provisions do not apply to the receipt of campaign contributions that are permissible under the Election Code.
