Bill proposing change from 'offender' to 'justice impacted individual' advances to governor's desk

State lawmakers have passed a bill that, if signed into law by Governor JB Pritzker, will change the term "offender" in state law to "justice impacted individual."
WGN's Jewell Hillery provides clarification on the very limited number of people who would end up being impacted by the bill if it were signed into law.
