Bill > SB2199

This bill amends the Illinois Police Training Act to modify the process for law enforcement officers to reactivate their certification after becoming inactive. Specifically, the bill allows a law enforcement agency to submit a request for a training waiver to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board, but only for officers who have at least 2 years of patrol experience after initially obtaining certification. The bill extends the timeframe for the Board to respond to waiver requests from 7 to 10 days, during which the Board must notify the officer and their agency whether the waiver has been granted, denied, or if the Board needs additional time to review the request. The changes apply to both full-time and part-time law enforcement officers, providing more flexibility for agencies seeking to reinstate officers whose certifications have become inactive. The bill aims to streamline the reactivation process while maintaining standards for law enforcement training and certification.
