Illinois § 11-117.1-1

§ 11-117.1-1.

Terrorism prevention measures. A municipality that owns or operates a municipal utility may promulgate rules for the exclusion of any person, based upon criminal conviction information received about that person under the Criminal Identification Act, from all or a portion of any water treatment facility, water pumping station, electrical transfer station, electrical generation facility, natural gas facility, or any other utility facility owned or operated by the municipality. The rules must be promulgated by the appropriate municipal agency in cooperation with the principal law enforcement agency of the municipality and, in the case of rules concerning the exclusion of employees, in cooperation with bona fide collective bargaining representatives. The rules may apply to employees of the municipality, any other persons performing work at the facility, or any visitors to the facility. The rules must identify the types of criminal convictions that disqualify a person from entering a particular area, based solely on whether the person poses an unreasonable risk to the public safety because of the person's potential for future criminal conduct affecting a municipal utility facility. The rules may be amended from time to time and shall be available for inspection under the Freedom of Information Act. (Source: P.A. 94-480, eff. 1-1-06.)
