A bill that would amend the Illinois Police Training Act has been referred to a House Rules Committee for further consideration.

House Bill 5858 would also mandate that “the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall select and certify schools within the state for the purpose of providing advanced or in-service training for arson investigators of a full-time fire department or fire protection district.”

The bill is sponsored by Rep. John M. Cabello (R-Machesney), who represents the 68th district, which includes all or parts of Rockford, Machesney Park, Loves Park and Cherry Valley.

Cabello is also a member of the Appropriations-Public Safety and Police & First Responders committees.

The conforming changes are set to go into effect immediately upon the bill’s passage.
