IL HB3617

Prohibits counties and municipalities from requiring law enforcement officers to meet arrest quotas, in addition to the existing ban on citation quotas

Defines "arrest quota" as any requirement for a specific number of arrests, assigning point values for arrests, or comparing an officer's arrest numbers to other officers

Bans using citations or arrests as criteria for officer promotions, demotions, dismissals, discipline, or merit pay; requires evaluations to focus on overall job performance including factors like communication skills, de-escalation, and professional judgment

Expands the definition of "points of contact" that can be used for evaluations to include calls for service, pedestrian stops, community caretaking, foot patrols, and business checks—while explicitly excluding arrests and citations from this metric

Creates a private right of action allowing aggrieved officers or their bargaining representatives to sue in circuit court for declaratory or injunctive relief, with attorney's fees and costs awarded to prevailing parties
