Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill amends the Illinois Police Training Act to establish a new Certification Enforcement Unit within the Law Enforcement Training Standards Board, replacing the existing Review Committee. It sets qualifications for the unit’s deputy director and investigators, shifts the burden of proof to the unit in decertification hearings, and requires public hearings and a simple‑majority vote to decertify an officer. The measure also mandates agencies to notify the board when an officer is dismissed for serious misconduct.
