A BILL FOR
HB2065 LRB102 12283 AWJ 17620 b
AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
changing Section 3.1-30-20 as follows:
(65 ILCS 5/3.1-30-20) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-30-20)
Sec. 3.1-30-20. Auxiliary police officers.
(a) Auxiliary police officers shall not be members of the
the regular police department of the municipality. Auxiliary
police officers shall not supplement members of the regular
police department of any municipality in the performance of
their assigned and normal duties, except as otherwise provided
in this Code. Auxiliary police officers shall only be assigned
to perform the following duties in a municipality: (i) to aid
or direct traffic within the municipality, (ii) to aid in
control of natural or man made disasters, and (iii) to aid in
case of civil disorder as directed by the chief of police. When
it is impractical for members of the regular police department
to perform those normal and regular police duties, however,
the chief of police of the regular police department may
assign auxiliary police officers to perform those normal and
regular police duties. Identification symbols worn by
auxiliary police officers shall be different and distinct from

HB2065 - 2 - LRB102 12283 AWJ 17620 b
those used by members of the regular police department.
Auxiliary police officers shall at all times during the
performance of their duties be subject to the direction and
control of the chief of police of the municipality. Auxiliary
police officers shall not carry firearms, except with the
permission of the chief of police and while in uniform and in
the performance of their duties. Auxiliary police officers,
when on duty, shall also be conservators of the peace and shall
have the powers specified in Section 3.1-15-25.
(b) Auxiliary police officers, before entering upon any of
their duties, shall receive a course of training in the use of
weapons and other police procedures appropriate for the
exercise of the powers conferred upon them under this Code.
The training and course of study shall be determined and
provided by the corporate authorities of each municipality
employing auxiliary police officers. Before being permitted to
carry a firearm, however, an auxiliary police officer must
have the same course of training as required of peace officers
under Section 2 of the Peace Officer and Probation Officer
Firearm Training Act. The municipal authorities may require
that all auxiliary police officers be residents of the
municipality served by them. Before the appointment of an
auxiliary police officer, the person's fingerprints shall be
taken, and no person shall be appointed as an auxiliary police
officer if that person has been convicted of a felony or other
crime involving moral turpitude.

HB2065 - 3 - LRB102 12283 AWJ 17620 b
(c) The Line of Duty Compensation Act shall be applicable
to auxiliary police officers upon their death in the line of
duty described in this Code.
