24 notice shall be sent to all relevant individuals, 
25 agencies, and any entities that received notice of the

16 mail that it has received a notice of violation against 
17 the law enforcement officer.
18  If the Board determines that due to the circumstances

9 be served by personal delivery, by mail, or, at the 
10 discretion of the Board, by electronic means as adopted by 
11 rule to the address or email address specified by the law

4officers. 
5 (a) No person shall receive a permanent appointment as a 
6law enforcement officer or a permanent appointment as a county 
7corrections officer unless that person has been awarded,

13satisfactory completion of a training program of similar 
14content and number of hours and which course has been found 
15acceptable by the Board under the provisions of this Act; or a 
16training waiver by reason of extensive prior law enforcement 
17or county corrections experience the basic training 
18requirement is determined by the Board to be illogical and 
19unreasonable.
20 If such training is required and not completed within the 
21applicable 6 months, then the officer must forfeit the 
22officer's position, or the employing agency must obtain a 
23waiver from the Board extending the period for compliance. 
24Such waiver shall be issued only for good and justifiable 
25reasons, and in no case shall extend more than 90 days beyond 
26the initial 6 months. Any hiring agency that fails to train a 
 
 
SB3370- 56 -LRB103 35788 AWJ 65871 b

14(the effective date of Public Act 101-652) are exempt from the 
15requirement of certified status. Failure to be certified in 
16accordance with this Act shall cause the officer to forfeit 
17the officer's position.
18 An employing agency may not grant a person status as a law 
19enforcement officer unless the person has been granted an 
20active law enforcement officer certification by the Board.

9 special training requirements to be completed as a 
10 condition for re-activation.
11  The Board shall review a notice for reactivation from 
12 a law enforcement agency and provide a response within 30 
13 days. The Board may extend this review. A law enforcement

17  A law enforcement officer who is refused reactivation 
18 or an employing agency of a law enforcement officer who is 
19 refused reactivation under this Section may request a 
20 hearing in accordance with the hearing procedures as 
21 outlined in subsection (h) of Section 6.3 of this Act.

14 enforcement agency to show why the law enforcement officer 
15 is entitled to a waiver of the legislatively required 
16 training and eligibility requirements. 
17 (c) No provision of this Section shall be construed to 
18mean that a county corrections officer employed by a

6 Sec. 8.1. Full-time law enforcement and county corrections 
7officers. 
8 (a) No person shall receive a permanent appointment as a 
9law enforcement officer or a permanent appointment as a county 
10corrections officer unless that person has been awarded, 
11within 6 months of the officer's initial full-time employment, 
12a certificate attesting to the officer's successful completion 
13of the Minimum Standards Basic Law Enforcement or County 
14Correctional Training Course as prescribed by the Board; or 
15has been awarded a certificate attesting to the officer's 
16satisfactory completion of a training program of similar 
17content and number of hours and which course has been found 
18acceptable by the Board under the provisions of this Act; or a 
19training waiver by reason of prior law enforcement or county 
20corrections experience, obtained in Illinois, in any other 
21state, or with an agency of the federal government, the basic 
22training requirement is determined by the Board to be 
23illogical and unreasonable. The Board may not require an 
24officer employed as a full-time certified officer by one 
25department or agency who simultaneously becomes employed as a 
 
 
SB3370- 62 -LRB103 35788 AWJ 65871 b


1part-time officer by another department or agency to receive a 
2waiver of training or take any other action for purposes of the 
3second employment. Agencies seeking a reciprocity waiver for 
4training completed outside of Illinois must conduct a thorough 
5background check and provide verification of the officer's 
6prior training. After review and satisfaction of all requested 
7conditions, the officer shall be awarded an equivalency 
8certificate satisfying the requirements of this Section. 
9Within 60 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act 
10of the 103rd General Assembly, the Board shall adopt uniform 
11rules providing for a waiver process for a person previously 
12employed and qualified as a law enforcement or county 
13corrections officer under federal law or the laws of any other 
14state, or who has completed a basic law enforcement officer or 
15correctional officer academy who would be qualified to be 
16employed as a law enforcement officer or correctional officer 
17by the federal government or any other state. These rules 
18shall address the process for evaluating prior training 
19credit, a description and list of the courses typically 
20required for reciprocity candidates to complete prior to 
21taking the exam, and a procedure for employers seeking a 
22pre-activation determination for a reciprocity training 
23waiver. The rules shall provide that any eligible person 
24previously trained as a law enforcement or county corrections 
25officer under federal law or the laws of any other state shall 
26successfully complete the following prior to the approval of a 
 
 
SB3370- 63 -LRB103 35788 AWJ 65871 b


1waiver:
2  (1) a training program or set of coursework approved 
3 by the Board on the laws of this State relevant to the

6  (2) firearms training; and
7  (3) successful passage of the equivalency 
8 certification examination. 
9 If such training is required and not completed within the 
10applicable 6 months, then the officer must forfeit the 
11officer's position, or the employing agency must obtain a 
12waiver from the Board extending the period for compliance. 
13Such waiver shall be issued only for good and justifiable 
14reasons, and in no case shall extend more than 90 days beyond 
15the initial 6 months. Any hiring agency that fails to train a 
16law enforcement officer within this period shall be prohibited 
17from employing this individual in a law enforcement capacity 
18for one year from the date training was to be completed. If an 
19agency again fails to train the individual a second time, the 
20agency shall be permanently barred from employing this 
21individual in a law enforcement capacity.
22 An individual who is not certified by the Board or whose 
23certified status is inactive shall not function as a law 
24enforcement officer, be assigned the duties of a law 
25enforcement officer by an employing agency, or be authorized 
26to carry firearms under the authority of the employer, except 
 
 
SB3370- 64 -LRB103 35788 AWJ 65871 b


1as otherwise authorized to carry a firearm under State or 
2federal law. Sheriffs who are elected as of January 1, 2022 
3(the effective date of Public Act 101-652) are exempt from the 
4requirement of certified status. Failure to be certified in 
5accordance with this Act shall cause the officer to forfeit 
6the officer's position.
7 An employing agency may not grant a person status as a law 
8enforcement officer unless the person has been granted an 
9active law enforcement officer certification by the Board.
10 (b) Inactive status. A person who has an inactive law 
11enforcement officer certification has no law enforcement 
12authority.

14 enforcement officer's certification becomes inactive upon 
15 termination, resignation, retirement, or separation from 
16 the officer's employing law enforcement agency for any 
17 reason. The Board shall re-activate a certification upon 
18 written application from the law enforcement officer's law 
19 enforcement agency that shows the law enforcement officer: 
20 (i) has accepted a full-time law enforcement position with 
21 that law enforcement agency, (ii) is not the subject of a 
22 decertification proceeding, and (iii) meets all other 
23 criteria for re-activation required by the Board. The

SB3370- 65 -LRB103 35788 AWJ 65871 b


1 a law enforcement agency and provide a response within 30 
2 days. The Board may extend this review. A law enforcement 
3 officer shall be allowed to be employed as a full-time law 
4 enforcement officer while the law enforcement officer 
5 reactivation waiver is under review. 
6  A law enforcement officer who is refused reactivation 
7 or an employing agency of a law enforcement officer who is 
8 refused reactivation under this Section may request a 
9 hearing in accordance with the hearing procedures as 
10 outlined in subsection (h) of Section 6.3 of this Act.
11  The Board may refuse to re-activate the certification 
12 of a law enforcement officer who was involuntarily 
13 terminated for good cause by an employing agency for 
14 conduct subject to decertification under this Act or

23 the certificate as required by the Board. A request for 
24 inactive status in this subsection shall be in writing, 
25 accompanied by verifying documentation, and shall be

9 subject of a decertification proceeding, and (iii) meets 
10 all other criteria for re-activation required by the 
11 Board.
12  (4) Notwithstanding paragraph (3) of this subsection 
13 (b), a law enforcement officer whose certification has
