         conducted by any  law  enforcement  or  correctional

         observation or investigation of incidents  of  crime

    subjective  determination  of  the  race  of  the  person
    stopped; the person's race shall  be  selected  from  the
    following  list:  Caucasian,  African-American, Hispanic,
    Native American/Alaska Native, or Asian/Pacific Islander;
         (2)  the  reason  that  led  to  the  stop  of   the
    motorist;
         (3)  the make and year of the vehicle stopped;
         (4)  the date and time of the stop;
         (5)  the location of the traffic stop;
         (6)  whether  or not a search contemporaneous to the
    stop was conducted of the vehicle, driver, passenger,  or
    passengers; and, if so, whether it was with consent or by
    other means; and
         (7)  the  name  and  badge  number  of  the  issuing
    officer.
    (c)  The  Illinois  Department  of  Transportation  shall
provide  a standardized law enforcement data compilation form
on its website.
    (d)  Every law enforcement agency shall, by  March  1  in
each  of  the  years  2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, compile the
data described in subsections (a) and (b) on the standardized
law  enforcement  data  compilation  form  provided  by   the
Illinois  Department  of Transportation and transmit the data
to the Department.
    (e)  The  Illinois  Department  of  Transportation  shall
analyze  the  data  provided  by  law  enforcement   agencies
required  by this Section and submit a report of the findings
to  the  Governor,  the  General  Assembly,  and   each   law
enforcement  agency no later than July 1 in each of the years
2005, 2006,  2007,  and  2008.  The  Illinois  Department  of
Transportation  may  contract  with an outside entity for the
analysis  of  the  data  provided.  In  analyzing  the   data
collected  under  this  Section,  the  analyzing entity shall
scrutinize the data for evidence of statistically significant
aberrations. The following list, which is  illustrative,  and
not   exclusive,   contains   examples   of  areas  in  which
statistically significant aberrations may be found:
         (1)  The   percentage   of   minority   drivers   or
    passengers being stopped in a given area is substantially
    higher than the proportion of the overall  population  in
    or   traveling   through   the  area  that  the  minority
    constitutes.
         (2)  A substantial number of false  stops  including
    stops  not  resulting in the issuance of a traffic ticket
    or the making of an arrest.
         (3)  A disparity between the proportion of citations
    issued to minorities and proportion of minorities in  the
    population.
         (4)  A  disparity among the officers of the same law
    enforcement agency with regard to the number of  minority
    drivers or passengers being stopped in a given area.
         (5)  A  disparity  between the frequency of searches
    performed  on  minority  drivers  and  the  frequency  of
    searches performed on non-minority drivers.
    (f)  Any   law   enforcement    officer    identification
information  or  driver  identification  information  that is
compiled by  any  law  enforcement  agency  or  the  Illinois
Department  of  Transportation  pursuant  to this Act for the
purposes of fulfilling the requirements of this Section shall
be  confidential  and  exempt  from  public  inspection   and
copying,  as  provided  under  Section  7  of  the Freedom of
Information Act, and the information shall not be transmitted
to anyone except as needed to comply with this Section.  This
Section  shall  not exempt those materials that, prior to the
effective date of this amendatory Act  of  the  93rd  General
Assembly,  were  available  under  the Freedom of Information
Act.
    (g)  Funding to implement this Section  shall  come  from
federal  highway  safety  funds  available  to  Illinois,  as
directed by the Governor.
    (h)  The   Illinois   Department  of  Transportation,  in
consultation with law enforcement  agencies,  officials,  and
organizations,  including  Illinois  chiefs  of  police,  the
Department   of   State   Police,   the   Illinois   Sheriffs
Association, and the Chicago Police Department, and community
groups   and  other  experts,  shall  undertake  a  study  to
determine the best use of technology to collect, compile, and
analyze the traffic stop statistical study data  required  by
this  Section.  The  Department shall report its findings and
recommendations to the Governor and the General  Assembly  by
March 1, 2004.
