Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(50 ILCS 745/2) (from Ch. 85, par. 2502)
Sec. 2. Definitions. For the purposes of this Act, unless clearly required otherwise,
the terms defined in this Section have the meaning ascribed herein:
(a) "Fireman" means a person who is a "firefighter" or "fireman" as defined
in Sections 4-106 or 6-106 of the Illinois Pension Code, a paramedic employed by a unit of local government, or an EMT, emergency medical technician-intermediate (EMT-I), or advanced emergency medical technician (A-EMT) employed by a unit of local government, and includes a person
who is an "employee" as defined in Section 15-107 of the Illinois Pension Code
and whose primary duties relate to firefighting.
(b) "Informal inquiry" means a meeting by supervisory or command personnel
with a fireman upon whom an allegation of misconduct has come to the attention
of such supervisory or command personnel, the purpose of which meeting is
to mediate a citizen complaint or discuss the facts to determine whether
a formal investigation should be commenced.
(c) "Formal investigation" means the process of investigation ordered
by a commanding officer during which the questioning of a fireman is intended
to gather evidence of misconduct which may be the basis for filing charges
seeking his or her removal, discharge, or suspension from duty in
excess of 24 duty hours.

investigation initiated by the respective State or local governmental

be the basis for filing charges seeking his or her suspension, removal, or
discharge. The term does not include questioning as part of an informal
inquiry as to allegations of misconduct relating to minor infractions of
agency rules which may be noted on the fireman's record but which may not in
themselves result in removal, discharge, or suspension from duty in
excess of 24 duty hours.
(e) "Administrative proceeding" means any non-judicial hearing which
is authorized to recommend, approve or order the suspension, removal, or
discharge of a fireman.
