Public Act 100-1001 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
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 11-1-12 as follows:
| ||||
(65 ILCS 5/11-1-12) | ||||
Sec. 11-1-12. Quotas prohibited. A municipality may not | ||||
require a police officer to issue a specific number of | ||||
citations within a designated period of time. This prohibition | ||||
shall not affect the conditions of any federal or State grants | ||||
or funds awarded to the municipality and used to fund traffic | ||||
enforcement programs. | ||||
A municipality may not, for purposes of evaluating a police | ||||
officer's job performance, compare the number of
citations | ||||
issued by the police officer
to the number of citations issued | ||||
by any other police officer who has similar job duties. Nothing | ||||
in this Section shall prohibit a municipality from evaluating a | ||||
police officer based on the police officer's points of contact. | ||||
For the purposes of this Section, "points of contact" means any | ||||
quantifiable contact made in the furtherance of the police | ||||
officer's duties, including, but not limited to, the number of | ||||
traffic stops completed, arrests, written warnings, and crime | ||||
prevention measures. Points of contact shall not include either |
the issuance of citations or the number of citations issued by | ||
a police officer. | ||
This Section shall not apply to a municipality subject to | ||
Section 10-1-18.1 of this Code with its own independent | ||
inspector general and law enforcement review authority. | ||
A home rule municipality may not establish requirements for | ||
or assess the performance of police officers in a manner | ||
inconsistent with this Section. This Section is a denial and | ||
limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection | ||
(g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
