The Transparency Project: Larry Young Explains Molly's Law

Molly's Law

Following the tragic death of his daughter Molly, Larry Young embarked on a mission to get legislation passed in Illinois to benefit survivors of victims of homicides or suspicious deaths. His efforts led to the passage of Molly's Law. Larry will explain what was involved in achieving that goal.  

HB6083 extends the statute of limitations for wrongful death cases and allows a lawsuit to be brought within five years after the date or the death, or within one year after a criminal case against a perpetrator concludes.

HB4715 increases the fines for public bodies for not releasing information that has been requested under the Freedom of Information Act to $10,000, plus $1,000 for each day information is withheld.
