Amends the Oaths and Affirmations Act. Provides that an administrative law judge, hearing officer, or adjudicator may administer oaths and affirmations to witnesses and others, concerning anything commenced or to be commenced, or pending before them when presiding over a proceeding for a local public entity if the administrative law judge, hearing officer, or adjudicator has neither been convicted of a felony nor removed from office by the Illinois Courts Commission.
