1 AN ACT concerning appropriations.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 1. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
5 (1) the laws the General Assembly creates can have
6 significant financial and other economic consequences, and the
7 enactment of Public Act 101-652 created very challenging
8 financial mandates upon all law enforcement agencies in the
9 State that are already burdened by budget constraints,
10 historical recruitment and retention issues, and deteriorating
11 morale;
12 (2) the changes made to the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn
13 Body Camera Act by Public Act 101-652 created a costly
14 financial mandate on local agencies through a phased
15 requirement that all law enforcement officers are to wear body
16 cameras no later than January 1, 2025 without providing enough
17 financial assistance to local governments to fund this costly
18 mandate;
19 (3) without the financial commitment by the State to
20 shoulder the responsibility of these expensive mandates, the
21 burden will fall upon law enforcement agencies, local
22 governments, and the public, potentially in the form of
23 layoffs, property tax increases, and decreased local
24 government services, which could lead to a reduction in public
