30             stopping members of minority groups  for  violations
31             of  vehicle laws in a number disproportionate to the
32             population of minority groups residing or  traveling
33             within  the  jurisdiction  of  the  law  enforcement
34             agency; and

 1                  (B)  If  the  review reveals a pattern, require
 2             an investigation  to  determine  whether  any  peace
 3             officers  of  the  law  enforcement agency routinely
 4             stop members of minority groups  for  violations  of
 5             vehicle  laws  as  a pretext for investigating other
 6             violations of criminal law;
 7             (3)  Provides   for   appropriate   counseling   and
 8        training of any peace officer found to  have  engaged  in

10        and
11             (4)  Provides for annual  sensitivity  training  for
12        any  employees  who  may  conduct stops of motor vehicles
13        regarding the prohibition against racial  profiling.  The
14        course or courses of instruction and the guidelines shall
15        stress  understanding and respect for racial and cultural
16        differences   and   the   development    of    effective,
17        noncombative  methods  of  carrying  out  law enforcement
18        duties in a racially and culturally diverse environment.
19        (g)  If a law enforcement agency fails to comply with the
20    provisions of this  Section,  the  Governor  may  direct  the
21    Comptroller  and  the  State  Treasurer to withhold any State
22    funds  appropriated  to  the  noncompliant  law   enforcement
23    agency.

24        Section  99.   Effective  date.  This Act takes effect on
25    January 1, 2002.".
