Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Police Training Act. Provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Act, a law enforcement officer who holds a current qualifying medical or healthcare license shall be exempt from the annual emergency medical response training and certification requirements imposed under a specific provision of the Act, provided that the law enforcement officer maintains a current cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification. Requires a law enforcement officer claiming an exemption under the amendatory Act to annually provide proof of a current qualifying medical or healthcare license and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board. Clarifies that an exemption under the amendatory Act is effective only while the law enforcement officer maintains both a current qualifying medical or healthcare license and a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification. Defines "qualifying medical or healthcare license".
