Bill Summary

Amends the Illinois Police Training Act. Provides that a law enforcement agency may submit a request for a waiver of training requirements to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board for a full-time or a part-time law enforcement officer whose certification has become inactive if the officer has at least 2 years of patrol experience after attaining certification (rather than any officer whose certification has become inactive). Provides that within 10 days (rather than 7 days) of receiving a request for a waiver, the Board shall notify the law enforcement officer and the chief administrator of the law enforcement officer's employing agency, whether the request has been granted, denied, or if the Board will take additional time for information.

AI Summary

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.
