Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
15 provisions identified: 12 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
Better training on victims and abuse
Every three years, the State Police give sexual assault response training in all basic academies and set evidence‑based, trauma‑informed rules with state partners. They run training to detect and investigate all forms of human trafficking. Triennial training must include state‑approved mandated reporter training. Every five years, officers get training on the psychology of domestic violence. These rules begin January 1, 2026.
Specialized investigators and unit certifications
Lead homicide investigators must have trauma‑informed training; this has applied since July 1, 2023. Only trained officers may investigate officer‑involved sexual assault cases starting January 1, 2026. The agency must keep a written policy and training for officer‑involved death cases. Only trained officers may serve as crash reconstruction specialists. All K‑9s used for drug enforcement must come from certified training programs.
State forensic labs and oversight board
The State runs a forensic lab system starting January 1, 2026. Labs handle toxicology in Springfield, Chicago, and other sites, plus crime scenes, digital evidence, and training for local police. The system manages lab reporting and stores genetic marker group data. A new Forensic Science Commission reviews major lab problems and recommends fixes. Public labs must report major non‑conformities each year.
Stronger medical response by State Police
The State Police train officers to give opioid antagonists like naloxone. They may train and authorize officers to carry and use epinephrine auto‑injectors, with written rules and good‑faith immunity. Officers are trained to find medical info on cell phones and to respond to autism. The agency must set policy for people arrested under the influence, and try to contact a responsible adult for those under 21. The agency also trains on the Health Care Violence Prevention Act. These changes start January 1, 2026.
Stronger protection for state people and sites
The Illinois State Police now run protective services for State buildings, officials, employees, and key infrastructure. The agency sets standards, trains staff, does security checks, and manages big event security. It also advises the Governor on protection. Using these services for a constitutional officer needs that officer’s written consent. These duties apply beginning January 1, 2026.
Use-of-force and yearly training rules
Each year the State Police provide in‑service training on cultural diversity, law updates, officer wellness, emergency medical response, firearm qualification, and firearms restraining orders. Every three years, officers complete at least 30 hours on arrests and use of force, with hands‑on scenarios, de‑escalation, and high‑risk traffic stops. If body cameras are used, the agency must have a policy that follows state law and train users. Cadets train on animal fighting awareness, use‑of‑force and safety, and trauma‑informed arrests of family members. These rules start January 1, 2026.
Juvenile records and school questioning
The State Police create a central juvenile records system for people arrested before age 17 or found delinquent. The agency posts quarterly public reports with counts and offense categories by age, race, and gender. Starting January 1, 2026, trained juvenile specialists may question students on school grounds, but only as allowed by the School Code. These changes improve access to records and set rules for school interviews.
Privacy in license background checks
When the Secretary of State requests it, the State Police give criminal conviction and outcome information for a license review. That information is confidential. The Division of Criminal Investigation must destroy it no later than 60 days after the final ruling and all appeals end. Employees who improperly share it can be charged. These rules apply January 1, 2026.
Academy grads skip state police exams
Beginning January 1, 2026, finishing the State Police Academy meets minimum standards and waives the State Comprehensive and Equivalency exams for State Police officers. Officers must have a certificate proving completion.
Faster, uniform gang data reporting
The State Police set a standard report format and require quick entry of gang information into the LEADS SWORD system after arrests. The agency notifies members about new or renamed gangs and keeps a historic data store to help cases. Local agencies in LEADS SWORD may update files and tell prosecutors about gang membership. These rules apply beginning January 1, 2026.
Mental health support for officers
The State Police provide PTSD training to help officers spot symptoms and respond safely. The agency also trains peer support advisors to run counseling sessions under the First Responders Suicide Prevention Act. These requirements start January 1, 2026.
Statewide clearinghouse for missing children
The State Police create a Missing Persons Clearinghouse to help find missing children. It supports fast, coordinated responses by police and communities. The clearinghouse begins January 1, 2026.
Volunteer rescue teams can assist
The State Police may ask specialized volunteer rescue units to help save lives or recover bodies. They should contact units in the local troop district first, or nearby districts if needed. This takes effect January 1, 2026.
Director may reassign investigation duties
Starting January 1, 2026, the Director may assign the law’s new functions to the State Police Division of Criminal Investigation. This is an internal management change.
Vehicle safety inspections move to Transportation
The Department of Transportation now runs vehicle safety inspections for common carriers, school buses, vehicles carrying school children, and driver‑training school vehicles. This change starts January 1, 2026. It shifts which agency handles inspections; other rules are unchanged in this summary.
