| |||||||
| 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 Counties Code is amended by changing Section | ||||||
| 5 | 3-6019 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (55 ILCS 5/3-6019) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-6019)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 3-6019.
Duties of sheriff; office quarters and
hours. | ||||||
| 8 | Sheriffs shall serve and execute, within their respective
| ||||||
| 9 | counties, and return all warrants, process, orders and | ||||||
| 10 | judgments of
every description that may be legally directed or | ||||||
| 11 | delivered to them.
A sheriff of a county with a population of | ||||||
| 12 | less than 1,000,000 may employ
civilian personnel to serve | ||||||
| 13 | process in civil matters. If an arrest warrant upon complaint | ||||||
| 14 | under Section 107-9 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, | ||||||
| 15 | or a warrant of arrest due to failure to appear under Section | ||||||
| 16 | 107-12 of the Code, originated from a law enforcement agency | ||||||
| 17 | other than the county sheriff's office, then the county sheriff | ||||||
| 18 | of a county with a population of more than 600,000 may require | ||||||
| 19 | that law enforcement agency to store and maintain the warrant. | ||||||
| 20 | That law enforcement agency is responsible for entering the | ||||||
| 21 | warrant into the Illinois Law Enforcement Agencies Data System | ||||||
| 22 | (LEADS) and the National Crime Information Center Database | ||||||
| 23 | (NCIC). The county sheriff may require the originating law | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | enforcement agency to arrange for transportation of the wanted | ||||||
| 2 | person to the county jail. Originating agencies may contract | ||||||
| 3 | with the county sheriff or another law enforcement agency to | ||||||
| 4 | store, maintain, and provide transportation of the wanted | ||||||
| 5 | person to the county jail. Any law enforcement agency or | ||||||
| 6 | regional dispatch center may act as holder of the warrant for | ||||||
| 7 | an originating agency that has no telecommunications | ||||||
| 8 | equipment.
| ||||||
| 9 | Each sheriff shall keep and maintain his or her office at | ||||||
| 10 | the county seat of
the county for which he or she is the | ||||||
| 11 | sheriff, and shall in counties having a
population of less than | ||||||
| 12 | 500,000 keep his or her office open and attend to
the duties | ||||||
| 13 | thereof from 8 o'clock in the forenoon to 5 o'clock in
the | ||||||
| 14 | afternoon of each working day, excepting such days and half | ||||||
| 15 | days as,
under any law, are or may be legal holidays, or half | ||||||
| 16 | holidays.
The hours of opening and closing of the office of the
| ||||||
| 17 | sheriff may be changed and otherwise fixed and determined by | ||||||
| 18 | the county
board of such county. Such action taken by the | ||||||
| 19 | county board
shall be by an appropriate resolution passed at a | ||||||
| 20 | regular meeting.
| ||||||
| 21 | (Source: P.A. 86-962; 86-1028.)
| ||||||
| 22 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| 23 | becoming law.
