Bill > SB1552

This bill amends the Illinois Police Training Act to limit the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board's ability to charge fees for annual certification of retired law enforcement officers who are qualified under federal law to carry a concealed weapon. Specifically, the bill caps the annual certification fee at $30 for these retired officers. The fee limitation is designed to make it more affordable for retired law enforcement professionals to maintain their certification to carry a concealed weapon, ensuring they can continue to exercise their federal legal right to do so without facing prohibitively expensive annual renewal costs. This amendment provides a clear, straightforward restriction on the training board's fee structure, making it easier for retired officers to stay certified while protecting their ability to carry a concealed weapon.
