| Public Act 098-0250 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section | ||||
3-6019 as follows:
| ||||
(55 ILCS 5/3-6019) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-6019)
| ||||
Sec. 3-6019.
Duties of sheriff; office quarters and
hours. | ||||
Sheriffs shall serve and execute, within their respective
| ||||
counties, and return all warrants, process, orders and | ||||
judgments of
every description that may be legally directed or | ||||
delivered to them.
A sheriff of a county with a population of | ||||
less than 1,000,000 may employ
civilian personnel to serve | ||||
process in civil matters. If an arrest warrant upon complaint | ||||
under Section 107-9 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, | ||||
or a warrant of arrest due to failure to appear under Section | ||||
107-12 of the Code, originated from a law enforcement agency | ||||
other than the county sheriff's office, then the county sheriff | ||||
of a county with a population of more than 600,000 may require | ||||
that law enforcement agency to store and maintain the warrant. | ||||
That law enforcement agency is responsible for entering the | ||||
warrant into the Illinois Law Enforcement Agencies Data System | ||||
(LEADS) and the National Crime Information Center Database | ||||
(NCIC). The county sheriff may require the originating law | ||||
enforcement agency to arrange for transportation of the wanted | ||
person to the county jail. Originating agencies may contract | ||
with the county sheriff or another law enforcement agency to | ||
store, maintain, and provide transportation of the wanted | ||
person to the county jail. Any law enforcement agency or | ||
regional dispatch center may act as holder of the warrant for | ||
an originating agency that has no telecommunications | ||
equipment.
| ||
Each sheriff shall keep and maintain his or her office at | ||
the county seat of
the county for which he or she is the | ||
sheriff, and shall in counties having a
population of less than | ||
500,000 keep his or her office open and attend to
the duties | ||
thereof from 8 o'clock in the forenoon to 5 o'clock in
the | ||
afternoon of each working day, excepting such days and half | ||
days as,
under any law, are or may be legal holidays, or half | ||
holidays.
The hours of opening and closing of the office of the
| ||
sheriff may be changed and otherwise fixed and determined by | ||
the county
board of such county. Such action taken by the | ||
county board
shall be by an appropriate resolution passed at a | ||
regular meeting.
| ||

Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||
becoming law.
