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.

(40 ILCS 5/3-116) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 3-116)

Sec. 3-116. Examination and emergency service.

A police officer whose duty is suspended because of disability may be
summoned to appear before the board, and to submit to an examination
to determine fitness for duty. The
officer shall abide by the board's decision. If a police officer retired
for disability, except one who voluntarily retires after 20 years' service,
is found upon medical examination to have recovered from
disability, the board shall certify to the chief of police that the member
is no longer disabled and is able to resume the duties of his or her
position. In case of emergency, a disabled police officer
may be assigned to and shall perform such
duty without right to compensation as the chief of police or chief officer
of the municipality may
direct. This Section does not apply to a police officer who has attained the age of 60.
