LAW ENFORCEMENT STATISTICS                                                 

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides for a  4-year  traffic      
   stop statistical study requiring law enforcement officers to record on      
   the face of a uniform traffic citation or warning citation the race of      
   the  motorist  and  whether there was a search of the vehicle, vehicle      
   driver, or passenger resulting in no further  legal  action.  Requires      
   the  Secretary  of State for 3 years to compile and study traffic stop      
   data to  determine  whether  there  is  a  pattern  of  discrimination      
   throughout  the  State in the enforcement of the Illinois Vehicle Code      
   and similar provisions of local ordinances and make a report of  those      
   findings  to  the  legislative  leaders  and  the Governor.  Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.

          Adds reference to:                                                   
          625 ILCS 5/16-108 new                                                
        Deletes  everything  after  the  enacting  clause.   Amends   the      
   Illinois  Vehicle  Code.  Provides that, for a 2-year period after the      
   effective date of the amendatory Act, whenever a peace officer stops a      
   vehicle for a traffic violation, the officer shall record  and  report      
   racial,  age, and gender information on the individual stopped and the      
   reasons for and the results of  the  stop.   Provides  that  each  law      
   enforcement agency shall compile the required data and submit the data      
   in  an  annual  report  to  the  Attorney  General.  Provides that the      
   Attorney General shall analyze the data and submit  a  report  of  his      
   findings  to  the  General  Assembly.    Provides that law enforcement      
   agencies shall  adopt  policies  that  discourage  race-based  traffic      
   stops.   Provides that the Governor may direct the Comptroller and the      
   State  Treasurer  to  withhold  State  funds  appropriated  to  a  law      
   enforcement agency that  fails  to  comply  with  these  requirements.      
   Effective immediately.
