| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is | ||||||
5 | amended by changing Sections 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9.5 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (430 ILCS 65/3) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-3) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 3. (a) Except as provided in Section 3a, no person may | ||||||
8 | knowingly
transfer, or cause to be transferred, any firearm, | ||||||
9 | firearm ammunition, stun gun, or taser to any person within | ||||||
10 | this State unless the
transferee with whom he deals displays | ||||||
11 | either: (1) a currently valid Firearm Owner's
Identification | ||||||
12 | Card which has previously been issued in his or her name by the
| ||||||
13 | Department of State Police under the provisions of this Act; or | ||||||
14 | (2) a currently valid license to carry a concealed firearm | ||||||
15 | which has previously been issued in his or her name by the
| ||||||
16 | Department of State Police under the Firearm Concealed Carry |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act. In addition,
all firearm, stun gun, and taser transfers by | ||||||
2 | federally licensed firearm dealers are subject
to Section 3.1. | ||||||
3 | (a-5) Any person who is not a federally licensed firearm | ||||||
4 | dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm while that | ||||||
5 | person is on the grounds of a gun show must, before selling or | ||||||
6 | transferring the firearm, request the Department of State | ||||||
7 | Police to conduct a background check on the prospective | ||||||
8 | recipient of the firearm in accordance with Section 3.1.
| ||||||
9 | (a-10) Notwithstanding item (2) of subsection (a) of this | ||||||
10 | Section, any person who is not a federally licensed firearm | ||||||
11 | dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm or | ||||||
12 | firearms to any person who is not a federally licensed firearm | ||||||
13 | dealer shall, before selling or transferring the firearms, | ||||||
14 | appear at the physical location of a federally licensed firearm | ||||||
15 | dealer and allow them to facilitate the transfer in accordance | ||||||
16 | with Section 3.1 contact the Department of State Police with | ||||||
17 | the transferee's or purchaser's Firearm Owner's Identification | ||||||
18 | Card number to determine the validity of the transferee's or | ||||||
19 | purchaser's Firearm Owner's Identification Card . This | ||||||
20 | subsection shall not be effective until January 1, 2014. The | ||||||
21 | Department of State Police may adopt rules concerning the | ||||||
22 | implementation of this subsection. The Department of State | ||||||
23 | Police shall provide the seller or transferor an approval | ||||||
24 | number if the purchaser's Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||||||
25 | is valid. Approvals issued by the Department for the purchase | ||||||
26 | of a firearm pursuant to this subsection are valid for 30 days |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from the date of issue . | ||||||
2 | (a-15) The provisions of subsection (a-10) of this Section | ||||||
3 | do not apply to: | ||||||
4 | (1) transfers that occur at the place of business of a | ||||||
5 | federally licensed firearm dealer, if the federally | ||||||
6 | licensed firearm dealer conducts a background check on the | ||||||
7 | prospective recipient of the firearm in accordance with | ||||||
8 | Section 3.1 of this Act and follows all other applicable | ||||||
9 | federal, State, and local laws as if he or she were the | ||||||
10 | seller or transferor of the firearm, although the dealer is | ||||||
11 | not required to accept the firearm into his or her | ||||||
12 | inventory. The purchaser or transferee may be required by | ||||||
13 | the federally licensed firearm dealer to pay a fee not to | ||||||
14 | exceed $10 per firearm, which the dealer may retain as | ||||||
15 | compensation for performing the functions required under | ||||||
16 | this paragraph, plus the applicable fees authorized by | ||||||
17 | Section 3.1; | ||||||
18 | (2) transfers as a bona fide gift to the transferor's | ||||||
19 | husband, wife, son, daughter, stepson, stepdaughter, | ||||||
20 | father, mother, stepfather, stepmother, brother, sister, | ||||||
21 | nephew, niece, uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandmother, | ||||||
22 | grandson, granddaughter, father-in-law, mother-in-law, | ||||||

24 | (3) transfers by persons acting pursuant to operation | ||||||
25 | of law or a court order; | ||||||
26 | (4) transfers on the grounds of a gun show under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection (a-5) of this Section; | ||||||
2 | (5) the delivery of a firearm by its owner to a | ||||||
3 | gunsmith for service or repair, the return of the firearm | ||||||
4 | to its owner by the gunsmith, or the delivery of a firearm | ||||||
5 | by a gunsmith to a federally licensed firearms dealer for | ||||||
6 | service or repair and the return of the firearm to the | ||||||
7 | gunsmith; | ||||||
8 | (6) temporary transfers that occur while in the home of | ||||||
9 | the unlicensed transferee, if the unlicensed transferee is | ||||||
10 | not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms and the | ||||||
11 | unlicensed transferee reasonably believes that possession | ||||||
12 | of the firearm is necessary to prevent imminent death or | ||||||
13 | great bodily harm to the unlicensed transferee; | ||||||
14 | (7) transfers to a law enforcement or corrections | ||||||
15 | agency or a law enforcement or corrections officer acting | ||||||
16 | within the course and scope of his or her official duties; | ||||||
17 | (8) transfers of firearms that have been rendered | ||||||
18 | permanently inoperable to a nonprofit historical society, | ||||||
19 | museum, or institutional collection; and | ||||||
20 | (9) transfers to a person who is exempt from the | ||||||
21 | requirement of possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification | ||||||
22 | Card under Section 2 of this Act. | ||||||
23 | (a-20) The Department of State Police shall develop an | ||||||
24 | Internet-based system for individuals to determine the | ||||||
25 | validity of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card prior to the | ||||||
26 | sale or transfer of a firearm. The Department shall have the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Internet-based system completed and available for use by July | ||||||
2 | 1, 2015. The Department shall adopt rules not inconsistent with | ||||||
3 | this Section to implement this system. | ||||||
4 | (b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes to | ||||||
5 | be
transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a | ||||||
6 | record of such transfer for a period
of 10 years from the date | ||||||
7 | of transfer. Such record shall contain the date
of the | ||||||
8 | transfer; the description, serial number or other information
| ||||||
9 | identifying the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number | ||||||
10 | is available; and, if the
transfer was completed within this | ||||||
11 | State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's
Identification Card | ||||||
12 | number and any approval number or documentation provided by the | ||||||
13 | Department of State Police pursuant to subsection (a-10) of | ||||||
14 | this Section; if the transfer was not completed within this | ||||||
15 | State, the record shall contain the name and address of the | ||||||
16 | transferee. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall | ||||||
17 | contain the date of application for transfer of the firearm. On | ||||||
18 | demand of a peace officer such transferor
shall produce for | ||||||
19 | inspection such record of transfer. If the transfer or sale | ||||||
20 | took place at a gun show, the record shall include the unique | ||||||
21 | identification number. Failure to record the unique | ||||||
22 | identification number or approval number is a petty offense.
| ||||||
23 | For transfers of a firearm, stun gun, or taser made on or after | ||||||
24 | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General | ||||||
25 | Assembly, failure by the private seller to maintain the | ||||||
26 | transfer records in accordance with this Section is a Class A |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | misdemeanor for the first offense and a Class 4 felony for a | ||||||
2 | second or subsequent offense. A transferee shall not be | ||||||
3 | criminally liable under this Section provided that he or she | ||||||
4 | provides the Department of State Police with the transfer | ||||||
5 | records in accordance with procedures established by the | ||||||
6 | Department. The Department shall establish, by rule, a standard | ||||||
7 | form on its website. | ||||||
8 | (b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person | ||||||
9 | within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States | ||||||
10 | mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law | ||||||
11 | to ship ammunition. Any resident purchasing ammunition within | ||||||
12 | or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a | ||||||
13 | copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card or | ||||||
14 | valid concealed carry license and either his or her Illinois | ||||||
15 | driver's license or Illinois State Identification Card prior to | ||||||
16 | the shipment of the ammunition. The ammunition may be shipped | ||||||
17 | only to an address on either of those 2 documents. | ||||||
18 | (c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer | ||||||
19 | of firearm
ammunition shall not apply to those persons | ||||||
20 | specified in paragraph (b) of
Section 2 of this Act. | ||||||

6 | of the United States, a member of the Illinois National Guard, | ||||||

8 | exempt from the application fee. $3 $6 of each fee derived from | ||||||

15 | 60 business days, provided the applicant submitted his or her | ||||||
16 | renewal application prior to the expiration of his or her | ||||||
17 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card. If a renewal application | ||||||
18 | has been submitted prior to the expiration date of the | ||||||
19 | applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card, the Firearm | ||||||
20 | Owner's Identification Card shall remain valid while the | ||||||

| ||||||
16 | similar offense in another jurisdiction committed before, | ||||||
17 | on or after January 1, 2012 (the effective date of Public | ||||||
18 | Act 97-158). If the applicant or person who has been | ||||||
19 | previously issued a Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||||||
20 | under this Act knowingly and intelligently waives the right | ||||||
21 | to have an offense described in this paragraph (l) tried by | ||||||

26 | is made under Section 112A-11.1 of the Code of Criminal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Procedure of 1963, an entry by the court of a judgment of | ||||||

11 | 5-520 of the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987 alleging that the | ||||||

| ||||||
14 | (p) An adult who had been adjudicated a delinquent | ||||||
15 | minor under the Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 for the | ||||||
16 | commission of an offense that if committed by an
adult | ||||||
17 | would be a felony;
| ||||||
18 | (q) A person who is not a resident of the State of | ||||||
19 | Illinois, except as provided in subsection (a-10) of | ||||||

2 | Identification Card revoked or denied under subsection (e) | ||||||
3 | of this Section or item (iv) of paragraph (2) of subsection | ||||||

5 | patient in a mental health facility as provided in | ||||||
6 | subsection (e) of this Section, shall not be permitted to | ||||||
7 | obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card, after the | ||||||
8 | 5-year period has lapsed, unless he or she has received a | ||||||
9 | mental health evaluation by a physician, clinical | ||||||
10 | psychologist, or qualified examiner as those terms are | ||||||
11 | defined in the Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
12 | Disabilities Code, and has received a certification that he | ||||||
13 | or she is not a clear and present danger to himself, | ||||||
14 | herself, or others. The physician, clinical psychologist, | ||||||
15 | or qualified examiner making the certification and his or | ||||||
16 | her employer shall not be held criminally, civilly, or | ||||||
17 | professionally liable for making or not making the | ||||||
18 | certification required under this subsection, except for | ||||||
19 | willful or wanton misconduct. This subsection does not | ||||||
20 | apply to a person whose firearm possession rights have been | ||||||
21 | restored through administrative or judicial action under | ||||||
22 | Section 10 or 11 of this Act. | ||||||
23 | Upon revocation of a person's Firearm Owner's | ||||||
24 | Identification Card, the Department of State Police shall | ||||||
25 | provide notice by mail and electronic mail with receipt | ||||||
26 | verification of delivery when available to the person and the |

10 | (1) surrender his or her Firearm Owner's | ||||||
11 | Identification Card to the local law enforcement agency | ||||||
12 | where the person resides. The local law enforcement agency | ||||||

16 | (2) complete a Firearm Disposition Record on a form | ||||||

11 | Section, the sheriff or law enforcement agency where the person | ||||||
12 | resides may petition the circuit court to issue a warrant to | ||||||
13 | search for and seize the Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||||||
14 | and firearms in the possession or under the custody or control | ||||||
15 | of the person whose Firearm Owner's Identification Card has | ||||||
16 | been revoked. | ||||||
17 | (d) A violation of subsection (a) of this Section is a | ||||||

19 | (e) The observation of a Firearm Owner's Identification | ||||||
20 | Card in the possession of a person whose Firearm Owner's | ||||||

23 | Section. | ||||||
24 | (f) Within 30 days after the effective date of this | ||||||
25 | amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, the Department of | ||||||

9 | Section 10. The Firearm Concealed Carry Act is amended by | ||||||
10 | changing Sections 20 and 30 as follows:
| ||||||
11 | (430 ILCS 66/20)
| ||||||
12 | Sec. 20. Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board. | ||||||
13 | (a) There is hereby created within the Department of State | ||||||
14 | Police a Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board to consider any | ||||||
15 | objection to an applicant's eligibility to obtain a license | ||||||
16 | under this Act submitted by a law enforcement agency or the | ||||||
17 | Department under Section 15 of this Act. The Board shall | ||||||
18 | consist of 7 commissioners to be appointed by the Governor, | ||||||
19 | with the advice and consent of the Senate, with 3 commissioners | ||||||
20 | residing within the First Judicial District and one | ||||||
21 | commissioner residing within each of the 4 remaining Judicial | ||||||
22 | Districts. No more than 4 commissioners shall be members of the | ||||||
23 | same political party. The Governor shall designate one | ||||||
24 | commissioner as the Chairperson. The Board shall consist of: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) one commissioner with at least 5 years of service | ||||||
2 | as a federal judge; | ||||||
3 | (2) 2 commissioners with at least 5 years of experience | ||||||
4 | serving as an attorney with the United States Department of | ||||||
5 | Justice; | ||||||
6 | (3) 3 commissioners with at least 5 years of experience | ||||||
7 | as a federal agent or employee with investigative | ||||||
8 | experience or duties related to criminal justice under the | ||||||
9 | United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement | ||||||
10 | Administration, Department of Homeland Security, or | ||||||
11 | Federal Bureau of Investigation; and | ||||||
12 | (4) one member with at least 5 years of experience as a | ||||||
13 | licensed physician or clinical psychologist with expertise | ||||||
14 | in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. | ||||||
15 | (b) The initial terms of the commissioners shall end on | ||||||
16 | January 12, 2015. Thereafter, the commissioners shall hold | ||||||
17 | office for 4 years, with terms expiring on the second Monday in | ||||||
18 | January of the fourth year. Commissioners may be reappointed. | ||||||
19 | Vacancies in the office of commissioner shall be filled in the | ||||||
20 | same manner as the original appointment, for the remainder of | ||||||
21 | the unexpired term. The Governor may remove a commissioner for | ||||||
22 | incompetence, neglect of duty, malfeasance, or inability to | ||||||
23 | serve. Commissioners shall receive compensation in an amount | ||||||
24 | equal to the compensation of members of the Executive Ethics | ||||||
25 | Commission and may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses | ||||||
26 | actually incurred in the performance of their Board duties, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from funds appropriated for that purpose. | ||||||
2 | (c) The Board shall meet at the call of the chairperson as | ||||||
3 | often as necessary to consider objections to applications for a | ||||||
4 | license under this Act. If necessary to ensure the | ||||||
5 | participation of a commissioner, the Board shall allow a | ||||||
6 | commissioner to participate in a Board meeting by electronic | ||||||
7 | communication. Any commissioner participating electronically | ||||||
8 | shall be deemed present for purposes of establishing a quorum | ||||||
9 | and voting. | ||||||
10 | (d) The Board shall adopt rules for the review of | ||||||
11 | objections and the conduct of hearings. The Board shall | ||||||
12 | maintain a record of its decisions and all materials considered | ||||||
13 | in making its decisions. All Board decisions and voting records | ||||||
14 | shall be kept confidential and all materials considered by the | ||||||
15 | Board shall be exempt from inspection except upon order of a | ||||||
16 | court. | ||||||
17 | (e) In considering an objection of a law enforcement agency | ||||||
18 | or the Department, the Board shall review the materials | ||||||
19 | received with the objection from the law enforcement agency or | ||||||
20 | the Department. By a vote of at least 4 commissioners, the | ||||||
21 | Board may request additional information from the law | ||||||
22 | enforcement agency, Department, or the applicant, or the | ||||||
23 | testimony of the law enforcement agency, Department, or the | ||||||
24 | applicant. The Board may require that the applicant submit | ||||||
25 | electronic fingerprints to the Department for an updated | ||||||
26 | background check where the Board determines it lacks sufficient |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | information to determine eligibility. The Board may only | ||||||
2 | consider information submitted by the Department, a law | ||||||
3 | enforcement agency, or the applicant. The Board shall review | ||||||
4 | each objection and determine by a majority of commissioners | ||||||
5 | whether an applicant is eligible for a license. | ||||||
6 | (f) The Board shall issue a decision within 30 days of | ||||||
7 | receipt of the objection from the Department. However, the | ||||||
8 | Board need not issue a decision within 30 days if: | ||||||
9 | (1) the Board requests information from the applicant, | ||||||
10 | including but not limited to electronic fingerprints to be | ||||||
11 | submitted to the Department, in accordance with subsection | ||||||
12 | (e) of this Section, in which case the Board shall make a | ||||||
13 | decision within 30 days of receipt of the required | ||||||
14 | information from the applicant; | ||||||
15 | (2) the applicant agrees, in writing, to allow the | ||||||
16 | Board additional time to consider an objection; or | ||||||
17 | (3) the Board notifies the applicant and the Department | ||||||
18 | that the Board needs an additional 30 days to issue a | ||||||
19 | decision. | ||||||
20 | (g) If the Board determines by a preponderance of the | ||||||
21 | evidence that the applicant poses a danger to himself or | ||||||
22 | herself or others, or is a threat to public safety, then the | ||||||
23 | Board shall affirm the objection of the law enforcement agency | ||||||
24 | or the Department and shall notify the Department that the | ||||||
25 | applicant is ineligible for a license. If the Board does not | ||||||
26 | determine by a preponderance of the evidence that the applicant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | poses a danger to himself or herself or others, or is a threat | ||||||
2 | to public safety, then the Board shall notify the Department | ||||||
3 | that the applicant is eligible for a license. | ||||||
4 | (h) Meetings of the Board shall not be subject to the Open | ||||||
5 | Meetings Act and records of the Board shall not be subject to | ||||||
6 | the Freedom of Information Act. | ||||||
7 | (i) The Board shall report monthly to the Governor and the | ||||||
8 | General Assembly on the number of objections received and | ||||||
9 | provide details of the circumstances in which the Board has | ||||||
10 | determined to deny licensure based on law enforcement or | ||||||
11 | Department objections under Section 15 of this Act. The report | ||||||
12 | shall not contain any identifying information about the | ||||||
13 | applicants.
