2001 Senate Bill 730 / 2002 Public Act 112

Introduced in the Senate

Oct. 17, 2001

Introduced by Sen. Shirley Johnson (R-13)

To establish that if a search warrant affidavit is attached to the warrant, a peace officer is not required to show the affidavit to the subject at the time of the search. The affidavit establishes probable grounds for issuing a warrant, and often contains the names and addresses of victims or other persons supplying information regarding a crime. It would be "non-public" information under the bill.

Substitute offered

To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute deletes a provision making a search warrant, affidavit, or tabulation of items taken nonpublic information. Also, the substitute establishes that the affidavit could only be suppressed until charges are brought, rather than until after final disposition of the case. However, if no charges are brought, the affidavit would still be "non-public" information under the bill.
