Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 10. Establishment of peer support program; applicability.

Any emergency services provider, law enforcement agency, or collective bargaining organization that creates a peer support program is subject to this Act.  An emergency services provider, law enforcement agency, or collective bargaining organization shall ensure that peer support advisors receive
appropriate training in counseling to conduct peer support counseling sessions. Emergency services personnel and public safety
personnel may refer any person to a
peer support advisor within the emergency services
provider or law enforcement agency, or if those services are
not available within the agency, to another
peer support counseling program that is available and approved by the emergency services provider or law enforcement agency. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, public safety personnel may not mandate that any employee participate in a peer support counseling program.
