Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 2069

Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Creates the offense of false personation of a peace officer while serving process. Provides that a person commits the offense when he or she, not being a peace officer, knowingly wears a coat, hat, or other clothing while serving process that reasonably creates the impression that the person is a peace officer. Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. With respect to the requirement that a person who is a licensed or registered private detective or a registered employee of a private detective agency must supply the sheriff of any county in which the person serves process with a copy of the person's license or certificate, deletes language providing that the failure of a person to supply a copy of the license or certificate to the sheriff does not impair the validity of process served by the person. In a provision that allows a court to appoint a certified private detective agency as a special process server, deletes language allowing any employee of the private detective agency to serve the process under the appointment.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that in counties with a population of less than 2,000,000, process may be served by a registered employee of a private detective agency. Provides that a detective or detective agency shall send a copy of his, her, or its individual detective license or detective agency certificate to the county sheriff in each county in which the detective or detective agency serves process. Provides that a detective agency shall maintain a list of its registered employees by category: a Permanent Employee Registration Card holder; a person whose application for a Permanent Employee Registration Card is pending; a current peace officer; and a licensed private detective. Provides that a detective agency shall send this list to any sheriff who requests the list.
