Regulation of policemen and firemen home rule powers discussed
Springfield debate moves bills through the General Assembly to keep state control over hiring, firing, retirement, and commissions for policemen and firemen in home rule cities. IPFA backs the measure. Champaign and Urbana oppose it, arguing it erodes home rule. Bills HB 345 SB 50 SB 217 SB 566 push state oversight of civil service and commissions.
