Illinois bill proposes a defense for mentally ill individuals who attack police, sparking safety concerns.
Illinois state Rep. Lisa Davis introduced House Bill 3458, which critics claim would allow individuals experiencing mental health crises to attack police without facing charges.
The bill proposes a defense for aggravated battery if the attacker has a documented mental illness and acted during a mental health episode.
The legislation has been referred to the Illinois General Assembly Rules Committee and has drawn concern over public safety, with two co-sponsors added.
The proposal applies only to police officers and not other first responders.
