1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 97
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 97 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Supreme Court Act is amended by changing | ||||||
5 | Section 11 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (705 ILCS 5/11) (from Ch. 37, par. 16)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 11. Marshals. | ||||||
8 | (a) The office of marshal for the Supreme Court is
hereby | ||||||
9 | created,
such marshals to be selected by the Supreme Court, and | ||||||
10 | the
duties of such marshals
shall be to attend upon its | ||||||
11 | sittings and to perform
such other
duties, under the order and | ||||||
12 | direction of the said court, as are usually
performed by | ||||||
13 | sheriffs of courts. The salary of such marshals
shall be fixed
| ||||||
14 | by the judges of the Supreme Court, such salary to be payable | ||||||
15 | from
the State treasury, upon bills of particulars, signed by | ||||||
16 | any one of the
judges of the Supreme Court. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) Marshals are peace officers and have all the powers | ||||||
2 | possessed by police officers in cities and by sheriffs. | ||||||
3 | Marshals may exercise these powers throughout the State. No | ||||||
4 | marshal has peace officer status or may exercise police powers | ||||||
5 | unless: (i) he or she successfully completes the basic police | ||||||
6 | training course mandated and approved by the Illinois Law | ||||||
7 | Enforcement Training Standards Board; or (ii) the Illinois Law | ||||||
8 | Enforcement Training Standards Board waives the training | ||||||
9 | requirement by reason of the marshal's prior law enforcement | ||||||
10 | experience or training or both.
| ||||||
11 | (c) The office of marshal for the Supreme Court may also | ||||||
12 | employ court security officers to be responsible for | ||||||
13 | maintaining the security of any courthouse or courtroom | ||||||
14 | occupied by the Supreme or Appellate Court of this State. A | ||||||
15 | court security officer hired under this subsection is subject | ||||||
16 | to the same training requirements and has the same authority to | ||||||
17 | arrest as a court security officer hired by a county sheriff | ||||||
18 | under Section 3-6012.1 of the Counties Code. However, the | ||||||
19 | arrest powers of the court security officer are limited to the | ||||||
20 | performance of the official duties of the court security | ||||||
21 | officer. A court security officer who is trained and qualified | ||||||
22 | as permitted by law may carry a weapon at his or her place of | ||||||
23 | employment and to and from his or her place of employment. No | ||||||
24 | court security officer authorized under this Section may | ||||||
25 | exercise arrest powers or carry a firearm unless: (i) he or she | ||||||
26 | successfully completes the basic police training course |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | mandated and approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training | ||||||
2 | Standards Board pursuant to subsection (b); or (ii) the | ||||||
3 | Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board waives the | ||||||
4 | training requirement by reason of the individual's prior law | ||||||
5 | enforcement experience or training or both. | ||||||
6 | (Source: P.A. 100-151, eff. 8-18-17.)
| ||||||
7 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
8 | becoming law.".
