Day Seven: The New Year Countdown – Police Officer Disability
This year, Municipal Minute will be counting down to the New Year with updates on legislation that will be effective starting on January 1, 2025.
Public Act 103-0929 amends the Illinois Municipal Code to expressly state that a physical or mental disability that constitutes the basis of an application for benefits may not be used as a cause, either in whole or in part, for a municipality to discharge a police officer. The Act also provides that the chief of police must order an immediate reinstatement into service when an officer provides a receipt of certification that the officer is no longer disabled.
