Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

20 ILCS 3305/10

from Ch. 127, par. 1060

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act. Authorizes the board of commissioners in a county having a population of more than 500,000 people to establish police powers within its Office or Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and to define and prescribe certain employees hired in that Office or Department with peace officers' duties and compensation. Establishes certain training and other requirements that a person must fulfill before he or she is appointed with police powers. Provides that a person with police powers shall have the power to investigate and mitigate threats of manmade disasters, protect the county's critical infrastructure, have access to law enforcement databases, protect the county's emergency assets and personnel that get deployed upon the request of local law enforcement agencies in emergency circumstances, protect county elected officials as requested, and observe and enforce local, county, and State ordinances and laws.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the language from the introduced bill with the following changes: Authorizes the board of commissioners in a county having a population of more than 1,000,000 (rather than 500,000) people to establish police powers within its Office or Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and to define and prescribe certain employees hired in that Office or Department with peace officers' duties and compensation. Provides that the sworn employees of the Office or Department shall not initiate independent investigations within any community without working in concert with local law enforcement.
