Sec. 10-1-18.2.
Home rule preemption.
No municipality, including a
municipality that is a home rule unit, may regulate the period of time or
establish or enforce a statute of limitations relating to charges brought
against a police officer before a Police Board, Civil Service Commission, or
other board or officer empowered by law or ordinance to investigate police
misconduct if the charge is based upon an allegation of the use of unreasonable
force by a police officer. The statute of limitations established in Sections
10-1-18 and 10-1-18.1 for those charges are an exclusive exercise of powers and
functions by the State under paragraph (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the
