Bill > SB1921

This bill amends the Illinois Police Training Act by increasing the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board (ILETS Board) membership from 18 to 20 members by adding two new positions for active members of a statewide law enforcement lodge. The bill specifically details that these two new board members will be appointed by the Governor on the first Monday in August following the bill's effective date, with one member appointed for a two-year term and the other for a three-year term. The new members will join the existing board composition, which includes ex officio members like the Attorney General, Directors of State Police and Corrections, and other law enforcement and municipal representatives, and appointed members representing various law enforcement perspectives. The appointments are designed to ensure diverse representation on the board, with the new positions aimed at providing additional input from a statewide law enforcement lodge. The bill maintains existing provisions about board member terms, vacancy replacement, and recusal processes in case of potential conflicts of interest.
