I’ll open December comments with a bill that passed both chambers of the IL legislature and was sent to the governor:
HB 576 prohibits governmental agencies and private entities from posting a public official’s personal information online if the official requests nondisclosure. The bill also amends the FOIA to exempt officials’ personal information and the Election Code to allow security-related expenses and mandate address redactions upon request. Additionally, the bill permits work addresses on identification cards and vehicle registrations instead of home addresses.
How nice for public officials.
So I get off of parole in SoCal in 3 months. I do feel skeptical. I guess I only got 3 years of parole even though when I was released they told me it would be 10. My PO showed me my digital file and sure enough it says I’m off in February. All the other guys in my group have 10 years or more of parole. So I am skeptical and I find it hard to get excited. I was charged with a burglary and a 220(a). Don’t. Know if that affects my parole length. Any insight on this would be helpful.
