Bill > HB4656

This bill amends the Counties Code to remove a restriction on special investigators appointed by a State's Attorney, who is a prosecutor for a county. Previously, these investigators could only carry firearms while performing their assigned duties and with the State's Attorney's permission. This bill removes the phrase "and in the performance of the special investigator's assigned duties," meaning special investigators will no longer be limited to carrying firearms only when actively working on their assigned tasks, though they will still require the State's Attorney's permission and appropriate identification.
