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. 8.1c.
Citizens Review Board.
A Citizens Review Board is
established for the housing authority in any
municipality having over 500,000 inhabitants to
monitor the
housing authority police force.
The Board shall consist of 9 members with 5 appointed by the executive
director
of the housing authority, 2 appointed by the housing authority's Central
Advisory Council, and 2 appointed by the housing authority's Senior Advisory
Council. The initial terms of the members shall be one, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years
for the members appointed by the executive director, one and 2 years for the
members appointed by the Central Advisory Council, and one and 2 years for the
members appointed by the Senior Advisory Council. The
appointing authority shall determine which initial term each appointee shall
serve.
Each successor of the initial members shall serve for a term of 4 years.
The initial appointments to the Board shall be made within 30 days of the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997.
The Board shall select one of its members to serve as chairperson.
The Board may, after notice and a hearing, remove by majority vote
a member of the Board who has been found guilty of neglect of duty or
malfeasance. If a
member of the Board resigns or is removed, the official or body that would
appoint the
member's successor shall appoint a person to serve the remainder of the
member's term. After a member's term expires, the member shall continue to
serve until a successor is appointed and qualified.
Subject to collective bargaining agreements, the Board
has the authority, after holding a
hearing, to
suspend, terminate, or take other disciplinary action
against a
housing authority police officer if:
(1) the officer is found by the Board to have |
| physically abused a tenant or his or her guest while the officer was on duty;
|
|
(2) the officer is found by the Board to have entered
|
| the residence of a housing authority tenant and was neither (i) executing a legally issued arrest warrant or search warrant for that residence nor (ii) otherwise lawfully present in the residence; or
|
|
(3) the officer is found by the Board to have
|
| physically abused a person on or off housing authority property while performing his or her duty as a housing authority police officer.
