Bill Summary

Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning veteran's and educational preference.

AI Summary

This bill makes a technical amendment to Section 10-2.1-8 of the Illinois Municipal Code regarding veteran's and educational preferences for hiring. Specifically, the bill removes a redundant "the" before the phrase describing academic fields of study, which include law enforcement, criminal justice, fire service, and emergency medical services. The provision continues to outline preferences for job candidates with associate's or bachelor's degrees from accredited institutions, those who have completed the Minimum Standards Basic Law Enforcement Training Course and are currently serving as law enforcement officers in Illinois, and veterans who have served at least one year of active military service and received an honorable discharge or are on inactive or reserve duty. The bill appears to be a minor technical correction to existing language rather than a substantive change to the hiring preferences outlined in the municipal code.
