DCFS-POLICE/SECURITY-REPEAL

Complete·8/1/25

HB1715 repeals the power of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to appoint members of a police and security force.

HB1715 amends the Department of Children and Family Services Powers Law by repealing the provision that allowed the Department to appoint members of a police and security force to act as peace officers. This change removes the authority for these appointees to have the same powers as police officers in cities and sheriffs under certain circumstances. The repeal is effective immediately upon the bill becoming law.
