This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Plain-language change summary

The amendments to HB 779 expand the definition of obstructing justice to specifically include tampering with evidence collected under certain sections of Illinois law. This is significant because it makes it clearer that issues like destroying or altering evidence related to ongoing investigations are serious offenses that can lead to felony charges. By explicitly including evidence tampering in the law, the bill strengthens the framework to hold individuals accountable for actions that could undermine the legal process.
