Short description: 
ELDRLY SERV OFFICER ACT-CREAT                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Elderly Service Officer Act.   Requires  each  police      
   department  with at least 10 sworn officers and each county sheriff to      
   employ a senior citizens advocate/liaison known as an Elderly  Service      
   Officer.  Requires  each  county  sheriff  to make the services of  an      
   Elderly Service Officer available to  police  departments  with  fewer      
   than  10  sworn  officers.  Establishes training standards for Elderly      
   Service Officers and prescribes  their  duties.  Preempts  home  rule.      
   Provides that the provisions of the Act are not reimbursable mandates.      
   Amends  various  Acts  to make cross references to the Elderly Service      
   Officer Act.                                                                
          FISCAL NOTE (Office of the Attorney General)                         
          HB 686 would have an initial annual cost of $121,000 for the         
          Elderly Service Officer and an Administrative Assistant.             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Requires  police  departments  with  at  least  25  sworn  police      
   officers to have an Elderly Services Officer.  Deletes the requirement      
   that the county sheriff must make the services of an  Elderly  Service      
   Office available to police departments that employ fewer than 10 sworn      
   police officers.                                                            
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Provides that the Illinois  Law  Enforcement  Training  Standards      
   Board  shall annually publish a list of police departments that comply      
   with this Act and shall annually publish a list of police  departments      
   that do not comply with this Act.

        Provides that a county sheriff's office must  have  at  least  25      
   sworn  police  officers  before  it  is required to appoint an Elderly      
   Service Officer.  Requires compliance with the Act by July 1, 2002.         
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 4.                                                 
        In a Section concerning the duties of an Elderly Service Officer,      
   requires   an   Elderly  Service Officer   to   conduct   a   thorough      
   investigation  (instead  of  a  thorough preliminary investigation) of      
   a  crime committed against an elderly  person and,   in conducting the      
   investigation,   requires  the   Elderly  Service  Officer  to  obtain
