(5 ILCS 830/10-5)
Sec. 10-5. Gun trafficking information.
(a) The The Illinois State Police shall use all reasonable
efforts in making publicly available, on a regular and ongoing
basis, key information related to firearms used in the
commission of crimes in this State, including, but not limited
to: reports on crimes committed with firearms, locations where
the crimes occurred, the number of persons killed or injured
in the commission of the crimes, the state where the firearms
used originated, the Federal Firearms Licensee that sold the
firearm, the type of firearms used, annual statistical
information concerning Firearm Owner's Identification Card and
concealed carry license applications, revocations, and
compliance with Section 9.5 of the Firearm Owners
Identification Card Act, firearm restraining order
dispositions, and firearm dealer license certification
inspections. The Illinois State Police shall make the
information available on its website, which may be presented

HB0434 - 2 - LRB103 04004 RPS 49010 b
in a dashboard format, in addition to electronically filing a
report with the Governor and the General Assembly. The report
to the General Assembly shall be filed with the Clerk of the
House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate in
electronic form only, in the manner that the Clerk and the
Secretary shall direct.
(b) The Illinois State Police shall study, on a regular
and ongoing basis, and compile reports on the number of
Firearm Owner's Identification Card checks to determine
firearms trafficking or straw purchase patterns. The Illinois
State Police shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law,
share such reports and underlying data with academic centers,
foundations, and law enforcement agencies studying firearms
trafficking, provided that personally identifying information
is protected. For purposes of this subsection (b), a Firearm
Owner's Identification Card number is not personally
identifying information, provided that no other personal
information of the card holder is attached to the record. The
Illinois State Police may create and attach an alternate
unique identifying number to each Firearm Owner's
Identification Card number, instead of releasing the Firearm
Owner's Identification Card number itself.
(c) Each department, office, division, and agency of this
State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law,
cooperate fully with the Illinois State Police and furnish the
Illinois State Police with all relevant information and

assistance on a timely basis as is necessary to accomplish the
purpose of this Act. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information
Authority shall submit the information required in subsection
(a) of this Section to the Illinois State Police, and any other
information as the Illinois State Police may request, to
assist the Illinois State Police in carrying out its duties
under this Act.
