A BILL FOR
HB3074 LRB101 10445 SLF 55551 b
AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Police Training Act is amended by
changing Section 8.2 as follows:
(50 ILCS 705/8.2)
Sec. 8.2. Part-time police officers.
(a) A person hired to serve as as a part-time police
officer must obtain from the Board a certificate (i) attesting
to his or her successful completion of the part-time police
training course; (ii) attesting to his or her satisfactory
completion of a training program of similar content and number
of hours that has been found acceptable by the Board under the
provisions of this Act; or (iii) attesting to the Board's
determination that the part-time police training course is
unnecessary because of the person's extensive prior law
enforcement experience. A person hired on or after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General
Assembly must obtain this certificate within 18 months after
the initial date of hire as a probationary part-time police
officer in the State of Illinois. The probationary part-time
police officer must be enrolled and accepted into a
Board-approved course within 6 months after active employment

HB3074 - 2 - LRB101 10445 SLF 55551 b
by any department in the State. A person hired on or after
January 1, 1996 and before the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly must obtain this
certificate within 18 months after the date of hire. A person
hired before January 1, 1996 must obtain this certificate
within 24 months after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1995.
The employing agency may seek a waiver from the Board
extending the period for compliance. A waiver shall be issued
only for good and justifiable reasons, and the probationary
part-time police officer may not practice as a part-time police
officer during the waiver period. If training is required and
not completed within the applicable time period, as extended by
any waiver that may be granted, then the officer must forfeit
his or her position.
(b) (Blank).
(c) The part-time police training course referred to in
this Section shall be of similar content and the same number of
hours as the courses for full-time officers and shall be
provided by Mobile Team In-Service Training Units under the
Intergovernmental Law Enforcement Officer's In-Service
Training Act or by another approved program or facility in a
manner prescribed by the Board.
(d) For the purposes of this Section, the Board shall adopt
rules defining what constitutes employment on a part-time
basis.
