Its most controversial measure—the virtual elimination of cash bail—won’t take effect until January 1, but state’s attorneys and law-enforcement groups are already warning that the law was rushed and is poorly worded. To paraphrase Nancy Pelosi, it’s another case of passing the bill to find out what’s in it.
