Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends provisions of the Criminal Code of 1961 exempting wardens,      
   superintendents, and keepers of prisons,  penitentiaries,  jails,  and      
   other  institutions  for the detention of persons accused or convicted      
   of an offense from certain  provisions  prohibiting  the  carrying  of      
   certain  weapons.  Includes in the exemption lieutenants, correctional      
   officers, captains, and sergeants of the  Department  of  Corrections.      
   Deletes  provision  restricting  the  exemption  to  the  carrying and      
   possessing of  those  weapons  in  the  performance  of  the  persons'      
   official  duties  or while commuting between their homes and places of      
   employment.  Also  exempts  these  officers  of  the   Department   of      
   Corrections  from  criminal  liability  for  unauthorized  bringing of      
   contraband into a penal institution by an employee if the  officer  is      
   permitted  by  law to possess a firearm, has successfully completed an      
   approved firearms training course, and  the  firearm  is  secured  and      
   stored  so  that  no  other person could gain access or control of the
