|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by |
| 5 | | changing Section 11-1-12 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-1-12) |
| 7 | | Sec. 11-1-12. Quotas prohibited. A municipality may not |
| 8 | | require a police officer to issue a specific number of |
| 9 | | citations within a designated period of time. This prohibition |
| 10 | | shall not affect the conditions of any federal or State grants |
| 11 | | or funds awarded to the municipality and used to fund traffic |
| 12 | | enforcement programs. |
| 13 | | A municipality may not, for purposes of evaluating a |
| 14 | | police officer's job performance, compare the number of |
| 15 | | citations issued by the police officer to the number of |
| 16 | | citations issued by any other police officer who has similar |
| 17 | | job duties. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit a |
| 18 | | municipality from evaluating a police officer based on the |
| 19 | | police officer's points of contact. For the purposes of this |
| 20 | | Section, "points of contact" means any quantifiable contact |
| 21 | | made in the furtherance of the police officer's duties, |
| 22 | | including, but not limited to, the number of traffic stops |
| 23 | | completed, arrests, written warnings, and crime prevention |
