Amends the Department of State Police Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that, upon the request of the chief of a fire department or the board of trustees of a fire protection district (now, upon the request of the chief of a volunteer fire department), the Department shall conduct fingerprint-based criminal history records checks of certain State and federal databases (rather than criminal background investigations) concerning prospective firefighters and report any conviction information about those persons (now, any record of conviction maintained by the Department must be reported) to the requesting chief or board of trustees. Authorizes the Department to charge a fee to the requesting chief or board of trustees for conducting the criminal history records checks. Requires that the fee be deposited into the State Police Services Fund and not exceed the cost of the inquiry (now, the fee is based on actual costs of the dissemination of conviction information).
