HB2889

STATE'S ATTORNEY-INVESTIGATOR

Introduced·2/5/25
Introduced Text

Illinois HB2889 amends the Counties Code to remove the restriction on special investigators appointed by a State's Attorney from carrying firearms.

Illinois HB2889 amends the Counties Code by removing the provision that limits special investigators appointed by a State's Attorney to carrying firearms only in the performance of their assigned duties. Currently, special investigators can only carry firearms with permission from the State's Attorney and only while dealing with putative fathers and noncustodial parents for the purpose of establishing a child's paternity or enforcing child support obligations. The bill removes this limitation, allowing special investigators to carry firearms under broader circumstances.
