NONCITIZEN POLICE OFFICERS

Summary

The bill amends the Illinois State Police Act so that, at the time of appointment, a person can be a U.S. citizen or a holder of a permanent resident card. It also stops sheriffs and municipal officials from refusing to hire permanent residents because they are not citizens, and gives officers six months to replace an expired card.
