CRIMINAL LAW-TECH
HB 1493 makes a technical correction to the Illinois Prison Inspection Act's short title by removing an extra "the" in Section 1 (730 ILCS 135/1). It does not change any prison inspection procedures, oversight requirements, or affect any inmates, staff, or facilities. The bill is purely administrative, updating the act's official name to match standard legal formatting. This procedural change has no impact on criminal law enforcement, prison operations, or public policy. (1 sentence, as it is a purely technical procedural bill).
