Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday is expected to sign new legislation requiring more thorough background checks before hiring police officers, a law inspired by the shooting death of Sonya Massey.

Background records of police recruits in Illinois must be available to a prospective employer under a new law in response to last summer’s shooting death of Sonya Massey

The law requires extensive background checks before Illinois police agencies hire officers. It was named for Sonya Massey, who was shot and killed in her home near Springfield by a deputy who had a string of prior discipline complaints.
