IL SB3547

Changes Illinois Police Training Act to require "licensure" instead of "certification" for full-time and part-time police officers, with 4-year licenses issued by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board.

Requires the Board to collect personnel rosters, employment status reports, and annual training plans from local governmental units to implement the Act.

Mandates all law enforcement officers (excluding chiefs, deputy chiefs, and elected sheriffs) complete minimum 32 hours of in-service training every 4 years during their license term, with training approved by the Board.

Automatically revokes licenses of officers convicted of or pleading guilty to felonies or specified misdemeanors, with procedures for Board investigators and Illinois Labor Relations Board hearings to address false testimony in murder cases.

Converts existing certificates and waivers to licenses for active law enforcement officers on the effective date, with the Board issuing new licenses on a staggered schedule thereafter.
