1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||||
5 | changing Section 11-1-12 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (65 ILCS 5/11-1-12) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 11-1-12. Quotas prohibited. A municipality may not | ||||||
8 | require a police officer to issue a specific number of | ||||||
9 | citations within a designated period of time. This prohibition | ||||||
10 | shall not affect the conditions of any federal or State grants | ||||||
11 | or funds awarded to the municipality and used to fund traffic | ||||||
12 | enforcement programs. | ||||||
13 | A municipality may not, for purposes of evaluating a police | ||||||
14 | officer's job performance, compare the number of
citations | ||||||
15 | issued by the police officer
to the number of citations issued | ||||||
16 | by any other police officer who has similar job duties. Nothing | ||||||
17 | in this Section shall prohibit a municipality from evaluating a | ||||||
18 | police officer based on the police officer's points of contact. | ||||||
19 | For the purposes of this Section, "points of contact" means any | ||||||
20 | quantifiable contact made in the furtherance of the police | ||||||
21 | officer's duties, including, but not limited to, the number of | ||||||
22 | traffic stops completed, arrests, written warnings, and crime | ||||||
23 | prevention measures. Points of contact shall not include either |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the issuance of citations or the number of citations issued by | ||||||
2 | a police officer. | ||||||
3 | This Section shall not apply to a municipality subject to | ||||||
4 | Section 10-1-18.1 of this Code with its own independent | ||||||
5 | inspector general and law enforcement review authority. | ||||||
6 | A home rule municipality may not establish requirements for | ||||||
7 | or assess the performance of police officers in a manner | ||||||
8 | inconsistent with this Section. This Section is a denial and | ||||||
9 | limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection | ||||||
10 | (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
