Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Police Training Act. Provides that within 60 days after the effective date of the amendatory Act, the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall adopt uniform rules providing for a waiver process for a person previously employed and qualified as a law enforcement or county corrections officer under federal law or the laws of any other state. Provides that the rules shall provide that any person previously employed or qualified as a law enforcement or county corrections officer under federal law or the laws of any other state shall successfully complete: (1) a training program approved by the Board on the laws of this State relevant to the duties of law enforcement and county correctional officers; and (2) firearms training, prior to the approval of a waiver. Amends the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body Camera Act. Provides that "community caretaking" excludes law enforcement-related encounters or activities. Provides that "law enforcement-related encounter or activities" does not include when the officer is completing paperwork alone, is in a training in a classroom setting, or only in the presence of another law enforcement officer or officers while not performing any other law enforcement-related activity (rather than when the officer is completing paperwork alone or only in the presence of another law enforcement officer). Provides that the written policy adopted by a law enforcement agency relating to officer-worn body cameras must include as one of the reasons that recordings made on officer-worn cameras must be kept past 90 days that the recording officer requests that the video be flagged for official purposes related to his or her official duties or believes it may have evidentiary value in a criminal prosecution (rather than for official purposes related to his or her official duties). Amends the Law Enforcement Camera Grant Act. Defines "law enforcement officer" or "officer" as any person employed by a unit of local government (rather than a county, municipality, or township) or an Illinois public university as a policeman, peace officer or in some like position involving the enforcement of the law and protection of the public interest at the risk of that person's life. Defines "unit of local government". Adds that one of the uses of grants from the Law Enforcement Camera Grant Fund includes covering associated data storage costs of officer-worn body cameras and associated technology. Effective immediately.
