A bill placing restrictions on abortions passed through the Senate with opposition from Democrats and three Republicans.

The rejected bill was tabled nearly a week before vandals painted vulgar graffiti on a wall of the Islamic Society of North America in Plainfield.

A bill regulating when police body camera videos are released to the public cleared one of its last major legislative hurdles Tuesday with the Senate's near-unanimous passage of the measure.
