6    (20 ILCS 2610/14)  (from Ch. 121, par. 307.14)
7    Sec. 14. Except as is otherwise provided in this Act, no
8Department of State Police officer shall be removed, demoted or
9suspended except for cause, upon written charges filed with the
10Board by the Director and a hearing before the Board thereon
11upon not less than 10 days' notice at a place to be designated
12by the chairman thereof. At such hearing, the accused shall be
13afforded full opportunity to be heard in his or her own defense
14and to produce proof in his or her defense. Anyone filing a
15complaint against a State Police Officer must have the
16complaint supported by a sworn affidavit. Any such complaint,

 

 

09800SB1275sam001- 2 -LRB098 08789 RLC 40700 a

1having been supported by a sworn affidavit, and having been
2found, in total or in part, to contain false information, shall
3be presented to the appropriate State's Attorney for a
4determination of prosecution. If a recorded conversation
5authorized under subsection (r) of Section 14-3 of the Criminal
6Code of 2012 is used by the complainant as part of the evidence
7of misconduct against the officer and is found to have been
8intentionally altered by or at the direction of the complainant
9to inaccurately reflect the incident at issue, it must be
10presented to the appropriate State's Attorney for a
11determination of prosecution.
12    Before any such officer may be interrogated or examined by
13or before the Board, or by a departmental agent or investigator
14specifically assigned to conduct an internal investigation,
15the results of which hearing, interrogation or examination may
16be the basis for filing charges seeking his or her suspension
17for more than 15 days or his or her removal or discharge, he or
18she shall be advised in writing as to what specific improper or
19illegal act he or she is alleged to have committed; he or she
20shall be advised in writing that his or her admissions made in
21the course of the hearing, interrogation or examination may be
22used as the basis for charges seeking his or her suspension,
23removal or discharge; and he or she shall be advised in writing
24that he or she has a right to counsel of his or her choosing,
25who may be present to advise him or her at any hearing,
26interrogation or examination. A complete record of any hearing,

 

 

09800SB1275sam001- 3 -LRB098 08789 RLC 40700 a

1interrogation or examination shall be made, and a complete
2transcript or electronic recording thereof shall be made
3available to such officer without charge and without delay.
4    The Board shall have the power to secure by its subpoena
5both the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the
6production of books and papers in support of the charges and
7for the defense. Each member of the Board or a designated
8hearing officer shall have the power to administer oaths or
9affirmations. If the charges against an accused are established
10by a preponderance of evidence, the Board shall make a finding
11of guilty and order either removal, demotion, suspension for a
12period of not more than 180 days, or such other disciplinary
13punishment as may be prescribed by the rules and regulations of
14the Board which, in the opinion of the members thereof, the
15offense merits. Thereupon the Director shall direct such
16removal or other punishment as ordered by the Board and if the
17accused refuses to abide by any such disciplinary order, the
18Director shall remove him or her forthwith.
19    If the accused is found not guilty or has served a period
20of suspension greater than prescribed by the Board, the Board
21shall order that the officer receive compensation for the
22period involved. The award of compensation shall include
23interest at the rate of 7% per annum.
24    The Board may include in its order appropriate sanctions
25based upon the Board's rules and regulations. If the Board
26finds that a party has made allegations or denials without

 

 

09800SB1275sam001- 4 -LRB098 08789 RLC 40700 a

1reasonable cause or has engaged in frivolous litigation for the
2purpose of delay or needless increase in the cost of
3litigation, it may order that party to pay the other party's
4reasonable expenses, including costs and reasonable attorney's
5fees. The State of Illinois and the Department shall be subject
6to these sanctions in the same manner as other parties.
7    In case of the neglect or refusal of any person to obey a
8subpoena issued by the Board, any circuit court, upon
9application of any member of the Board, may order such person
10to appear before the Board and give testimony or produce
11evidence, and any failure to obey such order is punishable by
12the court as a contempt thereof.
13    The provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and all
14amendments and modifications thereof, and the rules adopted
15pursuant thereto, shall apply to and govern all proceedings for
16the judicial review of any order of the Board rendered pursuant
17to the provisions of this Section.
18    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, a policy
19making officer, as defined in the Employee Rights Violation
20Act, of the Department of State Police shall be discharged from
21the Department of State Police as provided in the Employee
22Rights Violation Act, enacted by the 85th General Assembly.

8the right to counsel of his or her choosing who may be present
9to advise him or her at any stage of any interrogation.
