Will County postpones vote on Illinois State Police license‑plate‑reader agreement
Summary
An intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois State Police to place license‑plate‑reading cameras was postponed after the state police representative could not attend; the ACLU had been invited to the meeting but did not participate in the discussion.
The committee postponed consideration of an intergovernmental agreement that would authorize placement of license‑plate‑reading cameras by the Illinois State Police after the state police representative did not attend the meeting.
The chair noted that "both the state police and the ACLU were invited here today. Unfortunately, the state police could not attend," and asked for a motion to postpone. Member Hickey moved to postpone, a second was recorded and the committee approved the postponement by voice vote.
What happened: Committee members declined to vote on the agreement in the absence of a state police representative; the postponement keeps the item on the agenda for a future meeting when the invited parties can be present.
Next step: The item will return to the committee agenda when the state police or their representative are available to answer questions and discuss provisions of the intergovernmental agreement.
