Bill > HB3053

This bill amends the Illinois Police Training Act to increase the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board (ILETS Board) membership from 18 to 20 members by adding two new members who are active members of a statewide law enforcement lodge. Specifically, the bill expands the Governor's appointment authority to include these two additional board members, with a unique initial appointment process: one member will be appointed for a 2-year term and the other for a 3-year term, starting on the first Monday in August following the bill's effective date. The two new members will join the existing board composition, which includes ex officio members like the Attorney General and Illinois State Police Director, as well as appointed representatives from various law enforcement and municipal backgrounds. This change aims to provide additional representation from statewide law enforcement organizations on the board, which plays a critical role in setting training standards and reviewing disciplinary cases for law enforcement officers in Illinois.
