HB1344 exempts court security officers from certain weapon restrictions in Illinois.
HB1344 amends the Criminal Code of 2012 and the County Jail Act to exempt court security officers from provisions barring the carrying and possession of weapons in vehicles, concealed on one's person, or on public streets. This exemption applies if the court security officer is compliant with state laws governing the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004. The bill also ensures that court security officers, along with deputies and county correctional officers, are deemed qualified law enforcement officers for coverage under the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004.
