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
3-6013 as follows:
(55 ILCS 5/3-6013) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-6013)
Sec. 3-6013. Duties, training and compensation of
auxiliary deputies. Auxiliary deputies shall not supplement
members of the regular county police department or regular
deputies in the performance of their assigned and normal
duties, except as provided herein. Auxiliary deputies may be
assigned and directed by the sheriff to perform the following
duties in the county:
To aid or direct traffic within the county, to aid in
control of natural or human made disasters, to aid in case of
civil disorder as assigned and directed by the sheriff,
provided, that in emergency cases which render it impractical
for members of the regular county police department or regular
deputies to perform their assigned and normal duties, the
sheriff is hereby authorized to assign and direct auxiliary
deputies to perform such regular and normal duties.
Identification symbols worn by such auxiliary deputies shall be
different and distinct from those used by members of the

HB4271 - 2 - LRB100 16751 AWJ 31891 b
regular county police department or regular deputies. Such
auxiliary deputies shall at all times during the performance of
their duties be subject to the direction and control of the
sheriff of the county. Such auxiliary deputies shall not carry
firearms, except with the permission of the sheriff, and only
while in uniform and in the performance of their assigned
duties.
Auxiliary deputies, prior to entering upon any of their
duties, shall receive a course of training in the use of
weapons and other police procedures as shall be appropriate in
the exercise of the powers conferred upon them under this
Division, which training and course of study shall be
determined and provided by the sheriff of each county utilizing
auxiliary deputies, provided that, before being permitted to
carry a firearm an auxiliary deputy must have the same course
of training as required of peace officers in Section 2 of the
Peace Officer and Probation Officer Firearm Training Act. The
county authorities may shall require that all auxiliary
deputies be residents of the county served by them. Prior to
the appointment of any auxiliary deputy his or her fingerprints
shall be taken and no person shall be appointed as such
auxiliary deputy if he or she has been convicted of a felony or
other crime involving moral turpitude.
Auxiliary deputies may receive such compensation as is set
by the County Board, with the advice and consent of the
Sheriff, not to exceed the lowest hourly pay of a full-time

HB4271 - 3 - LRB100 16751 AWJ 31891 b
sworn member of the regular county police or sheriff's
department and not be paid a salary, except as provided in
Section 3-6036, but may be reimbursed for actual expenses
incurred in performing their assigned duty. The County Board
must approve such actual expenses and arrange for payment.
Nothing in this Division shall preclude an auxiliary deputy
from holding a simultaneous appointment as an auxiliary police
officer pursuant to Section 3-6-5 of the Illinois Municipal
Code.
