Implementing Karina’s Bill in DuPage County
A report on how a new Illinois law will be implemented locally within DuPage County’s judicial system is anticipated in the near future, based on conversations at Tuesday’s County Board meeting.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Monday signed into law Karina’s Bill, recently adopted state legislation supporters say is taking aim at gun violence in Illinois. The newly enacted bill is named in honor of Karina Gonzalez, who was fatally shot in Chicago in 2023, along with her daughter, Daniela. Gonzalez’s husband, Jose Alvarez, is suspected of the murders.
Under Karina’s Bill, guns must be removed from an accused abuser’s home. The removal goes into effect after a victim in a domestic violence case is granted an order of protection. County Board member Yeena Yoo requested the report during the “new business” portion of the meeting agenda.
