SECTION 2: That the City of Elgin hereby urges the Illinois Congressional Delegation and the Illinois General Assembly to enact legislation that will prohibit law enforcement agents from concealing their identities from the public by wearing masks and will require agents to wear appropriate uniforms and present identification when conducting enforcement operations.
