IL SB2631

Out-of-state law enforcement agencies must provide prior written notice to the Illinois Attorney General, Director of State Police, and local chief law enforcement officer before conducting any surveillance operations within Illinois borders, including details on officers involved, subjects, purpose, location, and duration.

Out-of-state law enforcement agencies must notify the relevant State's Attorney at least 24 hours before entering Illinois to conduct counter-terrorism activities, providing the date, time, nature, purpose, scope, and contact information of the activity.

Local law enforcement agencies must promptly notify the State's Attorney within 24 hours of learning about any out-of-state law enforcement activity in their jurisdiction; State's Attorneys must then notify the State Police counter-terrorism watch.

The Illinois Attorney General or State's Attorney may seek temporary or permanent injunctions in circuit court to prohibit out-of-state law enforcement agencies from conducting surveillance or counter-terrorism operations in violation of the Act's notification requirements.

Federal law enforcement agencies and task forces are exempted from these requirements; non-investigatory activities such as training, child-support warrant execution, and prisoner transport do not require notification.
