Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 20. Law enforcement certification; transition course.

The Board shall require law
enforcement interns to undertake, at
a minimum, the same training requirements as established for law enforcement
officers under the Illinois Police Training Act.  The Board certificate
reserved for law
enforcement officers shall not be awarded until the law enforcement intern is
employed, has successfully completed the State certification exam, and meets
the requirements established by the Board.  The Law Enforcement Intern
Certificate shall be issued to the trainee following the successful completion
of the course.  The graduate law enforcement intern, if not employed as a law
enforcement officer within 2 years after issuance of the law enforcement intern
certificate, must then meet the requirements of the Illinois Police Training
Act upon
employment.  A graduate law enforcement intern who is not employed within one
year, but is hired within 2 years after completing the course, must
successfully complete a transition course approved by the Illinois Law
Enforcement Training Standards Board and again successfully
complete the law enforcement State certification
exam in order to obtain the Board's certificate reserved for law enforcement
officers.  The transition course shall consist of a minimum of 80 hours and
shall be conducted at a Board certified academy.
