no law enforcement
officer is certified
or provided a valid waiver if that law enforcement officer has been convicted of, found guilty of, entered a plea of guilty to, or entered a plea of nolo contendere to, a
felony offense under the laws of this
State or any other state which if committed in this State would be punishable
as a felony. The Board must also
ensure that no law enforcement officer is certified or provided a valid waiver if that law enforcement
officer has been convicted of, found guilty of, or entered a plea of guilty to, on or
after January 1, 2022 (the effective date of Public Act 101-652) of any misdemeanor
specified in this Section or if
committed in any other state would be an offense similar to Section 11-1.50, 11-6, 11-6.5, 11-6.6,
11-9.1, 11-9.1B, 11-14, 11-14.1, 11-30, 12-2, 12-3.2, 12-3.4, 12-3.5, 16-1, 17-1, 17-2, 26.5-1, 26.5-2, 26.5-3, 28-3, 29-1, any misdemeanor in violation of any Section of Part E of Title III of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, or subsection (a) of Section 17-32 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, or to Section 5 or
5.2 of the Cannabis Control Act, or any felony or misdemeanor in violation of federal law or the law of any state that is the equivalent of any of the offenses specified therein. The Board must appoint investigators to
enforce the duties conferred upon the
Board by this Act.
(a-1) For purposes of this Section, a person is "convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty to, plea of nolo contendere to, found guilty of" regardless of whether the adjudication of guilt or sentence is withheld or not entered thereon. This includes sentences of supervision, conditional discharge, or first offender probation, or any similar disposition provided for by law.
(b) It is the responsibility of the sheriff or the chief executive officer
of every law enforcement
agency or department within this State to report to the Board any arrest,
conviction, finding of guilt, plea of guilty, or plea of nolo contendere to, of any officer for an
offense identified in this Section, regardless of whether the adjudication of guilt or sentence is withheld or not entered thereon, this includes sentences of supervision, conditional discharge, or first offender probation.
(c) It is the duty and responsibility of every full-time and part-time law enforcement

causes to be submitted, or files a false or untruthful report to the Board must
have the officer's certificate or waiver
immediately decertified or revoked.
(d) Any person, or a local or State agency, or the Board is immune from
liability for submitting,
disclosing, or releasing information of arrests, convictions, or pleas of guilty in this Section

issued by the Board who is
convicted of, found guilty of, or entered a plea of guilty to, or entered a plea of nolo contendere to any offense described in this Section immediately becomes
decertified or no longer has a valid
waiver. The decertification and invalidity of waivers occurs as a matter of
law. Failure of a convicted person to
report to the Board the officer's conviction as described in this Section or any
continued law enforcement practice
after receiving a conviction is a Class 4 felony.
For purposes of this Section, a person is considered to have been "convicted of, found guilty of, or entered a plea of guilty to, plea of nolo contendere to" regardless of whether the adjudication of guilt or sentence is withheld or not entered thereon, including sentences of supervision, conditional discharge, first offender probation, or any similar disposition as provided for by law.

Bureau
of
Investigation must provide the Board any criminal history record information
contained in its files pertaining to law
enforcement officers or any applicant to a Board certified basic law
enforcement academy as described in this Act
based on fingerprint identification. The Board must make payment of fees to the

Sec. 8.4. Law enforcement compliance verification.
(a)(1) Unless on inactive status under subsection (b) of Section 8.1 or subsection (b) of Section 8.2, every law enforcement officer subject to this Act shall submit a verification form that confirms compliance with this Act. The verification shall apply to the 3 calendar years preceding the date of verification. Law enforcement officers shall submit the officer's first report by January 30 during the initial three-year reporting period, as determined on the basis of the law enforcement officer's last name under paragraph (2) of this subsection then every third year of the officer's applicable three-year report period as determined by the Board. At the conclusion of each law enforcement officer's applicable reporting period, the chief administrative officer of the officer's law enforcement agency is to determine the compliance of each officer under this Section. An officer may verify their successful completion of training requirements with their law enforcement agency. Each law enforcement officer is responsible for reporting and demonstrating compliance to the officer's chief administrative officer.
(2) The applicable three-year reporting period shall begin on January 30, 2023 for law enforcement officers whose last names being with the letters A through G, on January 30, 2024 for law enforcement officers whose last names being with the letters H through O, and January 30, 2025 for law enforcement officers whose last names being with the letters P through Z.

(b) (1) On October 1 of each year, the Board shall send notice to all certified law enforcement officers, unless exempted in (a), of the upcoming deadline to submit the compliance verification form. No later than March 1 of each year, the Board shall send notice to all certified law enforcement officers who have failed to submit the compliance verification form, as well as the officer's law enforcement agencies. The Board shall not send a notice of noncompliance to law enforcement officers whom the Board knows, based on the status of the law enforcement officer's certification status, are inactive or retired. The Board may accept compliance verification forms until April 1 of the year in which a law enforcement officer is required to submit the form.
(2) No earlier than April 1 of the year in which a law enforcement officer is required to submit a verification form, the Board may determine a law enforcement officer's certification to be inactive if the law enforcement officer failed to either: (1) submit a compliance verification in accordance with this Section; or (2) report an exemption from the requirements of this Section. The Board shall then send notice, by mail or email, to any such law enforcement officer and the officer's law enforcement agency that the officer's certificate will be deemed inactive on the date specified in the notice, which shall be no sooner than 21 days from the date of the notice, because of the officer's failure to comply or report compliance, or failure to report an exemption. The Board shall deem inactive the certificate of such law enforcement officers on the date specified in the notice unless the Board determines before that date that the law enforcement officer has complied. A determination that a certificate is inactive under this section is not a disciplinary sanction.
(3) A law enforcement officer who was on inactive status shall, upon return to active status, be required to complete the deferred training programs within 1 year.
(4) The Board may waive the reporting requirements, as required in this section, if the law enforcement officer or the officer's law enforcement agency demonstrates the existence of mitigating circumstances justifying the law enforcement officer's failure to obtain the training requirements due to failure of the officer's law enforcement agency or the Board to offer the training requirement during the officer's required compliance verification period. If the Board finds that the law enforcement officer can meet the training requirements with extended time, the Board may allow the law enforcement officer a maximum of six additional months to complete the requirements.
(5) A request for a training waiver under this subsection due to the mitigating circumstance shall be in writing, accompanied by verifying documentation, and shall be submitted to the Board not less than 30 days before the end of the law enforcement officer's required compliance verification period.
(6) A law enforcement officer whose request for waiver under this subsection is denied, is entitled to a request for a review by the Board. The law enforcement officer or the officer's law enforcement agency must request a review within 20 days after the waiver being denied. The burden of proof shall be on the law enforcement officer to show why the officer is entitled to a waiver.
(c) Recordkeeping and audits.
(d) Audits that reveal an inaccurate verification.
(e) Reactivation. A law enforcement officer who has been deemed inactive due to noncompliance with the reporting requirements under paragraph (a)(1) may request to have the Board re-activate his or her certification upon submitting a compliance verification form that shows full compliance for the period in which the law enforcement officer was deemed inactive due to noncompliance. The Board shall make a determination regarding a submission under this subsection active no later than 7 days after the Board determines full compliance or continued noncompliance.
A law enforcement officer whose request for reactivation under this subsection (e) is denied is entitled to request a review by the Board. The law enforcement officer or the officer's law enforcement agency must request a review within 20 days after reactivation being denied. The burden of proof shall be on the law enforcement officer or law enforcement agency to show that the officer is in full compliance.
