    AN ACT concerning local government.

 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly: 



 
    Section 5. The Counties Code is amended  by changing Section 
3-6013 as follows:
 



    (55 ILCS 5/3-6013)  (from Ch. 34, par. 3-6013)


    Sec. 3-6013. Duties, training and compensation of 
auxiliary deputies. Auxiliary deputies shall not supplement 
members of the regular county
police department or regular 
deputies in the performance of their assigned
and normal 
duties, except as provided herein.  Auxiliary deputies may be

assigned and directed by the sheriff to perform the following 
duties in
the county:

    To aid or direct traffic within the county, to aid in 
control of natural
or human made disasters, to aid in case of 
civil disorder as assigned and
directed by the sheriff, 
provided, that in emergency cases which render it
impractical 
for members of the regular county police department or regular

deputies to perform their assigned and normal duties, the 
sheriff is hereby
authorized to assign and direct auxiliary 
deputies to perform such regular
and normal duties. 
Identification symbols worn by such auxiliary deputies
shall be 
different and distinct from those used by members of the 
regular
county police department or regular deputies.  Such 
auxiliary deputies
shall at all times during the performance of 
their duties be subject to the
direction and control of the 
sheriff of the county.  Such auxiliary deputies
shall not carry 
firearms, except with the permission of the sheriff, and
only 
while in uniform and in the performance of their assigned 
duties.

    Auxiliary deputies, prior to entering upon any of their 
duties, shall
receive a course of training in the use of 
weapons and other police
procedures as shall be appropriate in 
the exercise of the powers
conferred upon them under this 
Division, which training and
course of study shall be 
determined and provided by the sheriff of each
county utilizing 
auxiliary deputies, provided that, before being
permitted to 
carry a firearm an auxiliary deputy must have the same
course 
of training as required of peace officers in Section 2 of the

Peace Officer Firearm Training Act.  The county authorities 
shall require
that all auxiliary deputies be residents of the 
county served by them.
Prior to the appointment of any 
auxiliary deputy his or her fingerprints
shall be taken and no 
person shall be appointed as such auxiliary deputy if
he or she 
has been convicted of a felony or other crime involving moral

turpitude.

    Auxiliary deputies may receive such compensation as is set 
by the County Board, with the advice and consent of the 
Sheriff, not to exceed the lowest hourly pay of a full-time 
sworn member of the regular county police or sheriff's 
department and not be paid a salary, except as provided in

Section 3-6036, but may be reimbursed for actual expenses 
incurred in
performing their assigned duty. The County Board 
must approve such actual
expenses and arrange for payment.

    Nothing in this Division shall preclude an auxiliary deputy 
from holding
a simultaneous appointment as an auxiliary police 
officer pursuant to Section
3-6-5 of the Illinois Municipal 
Code.
