Provides that no investigator of an officer-involved criminal sexual assault may be employed by the law enforcement agency that employs the officer involved in the criminal sexual assault, unless the investigator is employed by the Department of State Police or a municipality with a population over 1,000,000 and is not assigned to the same division or unit as the officer involved in the criminal sexual assault (rather than unless the investigator is employed by the Department of State Police). Provides that upon receipt of an allegation or complaint of an officer-involved criminal sexual assault, a municipality with a population over 1,000,000 shall promptly notify an independent agency, created by ordinance of the municipality, tasked with investigating incidents of police misconduct. Effective January 1, 2018.

Provides that no investigator involved in the investigation may be employed by the law enforcement agency that employs the officer involved in the officer-involved criminal sexual assault, unless the investigator is employed by the Department of State Police and is not assigned to the same division or unit as the officer involved in the criminal sexual assault (in House Amendment No. 3, no investigator involved in the investigation may be employed by the law enforcement agency that employs the officer involved in the officer-involved criminal sexual assault, unless the investigator is employed by the Department of State Police or a municipality with a population of over 1,000,000 and is not assigned to the same division or unit as the officer involved in the criminal sexual assault).

Provides that each officer-involved criminal sexual assault investigation shall be conducted by at least 2 investigators or an entity comprised of at least 2 investigators, one of whom shall be the lead investigator. Provides that the lead investigator shall be a person certified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board as a sexual assault investigator, or similar training approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board or the Department of State Police, or similar training provided at an Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board certified school. Provides that no investigator involved in the investigation may be employed by the law enforcement agency that employs the officer involved in the officer-involved criminal sexual assault, unless the investigator is employed by the Department of State Police or a municipality with a population of over 1,000,000 and is not assigned to the same division or unit as the officer involved in the criminal sexual assault. Provides that the investigators conducting the investigation shall, in an expeditious manner, provide a complete report to the State's Attorney of the county in which the officer-involved criminal sexual assault occurred. Provides that the Act does not prohibit a law enforcement agency from conducting an internal investigation into the officer-involved criminal sexual assault if the internal investigation does not interfere with the investigation.
