Bill Title: Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill, as modified by Senate Amendment No. 2, with the following changes in the Illinois Police Training Act. In provisions requiring specified training to be completed before a full-time or part-time law enforcement or county corrections officer receives waiver approval, removes a requirement that the officer receive training for crimes motivated by bias. Provides that training for crimes motivated by bias is also part of an officer's minimum in-service training requirements. In provisions requiring the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board to develop or approve the training course for crimes motivated by bias, provides that the Board must approve at least one training course (rather than develop or approve a course). Provides that the Board must, within a reasonable time, update the course to conform with national trends and best practices (rather than the Board must review the approved course or courses every 3 years and update the approved courses). Encourages the Board to adopt model policies to assist law enforcement agencies in developing policies related to hate crimes and crimes motivated by violence, and allows the Board to consult with the Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes or other entities to develop the policies. Requires the Board to periodically conduct an educational conference to inform and sensitize chief law enforcement officers, community service providers, and other interested persons to the law enforcement issues associated with bias crimes (removing provisions relating to providing instructional materials to chief law enforcement officers and provisions requiring chief law enforcement officers to encourage law enforcement officers to complete the in-service training). Allows the Board to partner with other public or private entities to sponsor and conduct these conferences.
