Prohibit law enforcement from using quotas for arrests, citations
SB 114 bans law enforcement agencies from setting mandatory targets for arrests or citations. It directly affects police departments and officers who previously may have been required to meet specific numerical goals. The bill creates a new state law section (109.70) making it illegal to use such quotas. This is a direct policy change prohibiting a specific practice, not a broader reform.

MODERATE
This bill was finalized from its House version to its enrolled version, primarily adding standard legislative formatting elements like the General Assembly session information, bill title, and signature lines. The substantive policy content regarding the prohibition of law enforcement quotas remained unchanged, though some definitions were slightly refined for clarity.
TECHNICAL
Added standard legislative formatting including the 136th General Assembly session header, bill number designation, and signature lines for the Speaker, President of the Senate, Governor, and Secretary of State.
Removed page numbers and line numbers that were present in the House version but are not needed in the final enrolled bill.
DEFINITION
Refined the definition of 'local or state police officer' to specify 'deputy' roles for county and village positions, and clarified that township constables must be appointed by a board of township trustees.
Updated the definition of 'law enforcement official or agency' to more precisely specify which entities have jurisdiction over which officer types, ensuring alignment between the two definitions.
