The Jelani Day Bill has passed the Illinois State Senate, named for the ISU student whose body wasn't identified for weeks after he went missing.
The bill would require a coroner or medical examiner to notify the FBI when human remains are not identified within 72 hours of discovery.
Day was a graduate student at ISU in Bloomington when he disappeared at the end of August. His body was identified weeks after he was reported missing, having been pulled from the Illinois River near Peru. The FBI is still investigating his death, and is hoping to get more information from Day's close contacts to better understand the circumstances surrounding his death. The agency is engaging in a coordinated, nationwide, multi-platform social media campaign to identify new leads, including offering a $10,000 reward.
