Sec. 3. (a) Except as provided in Section 3a, no person may
knowingly transfer, or cause to be transferred, any firearm,

HB1034 - 69 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
firearm ammunition, stun gun, or taser to any person within
this State unless the transferee with whom he deals displays
either: (1) a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification
Card which has previously been issued in his or her name by the
Illinois State Police under the provisions of this Act; or (2)
a currently valid license to carry a concealed firearm which
has previously been issued in his or her name by the Illinois
State Police under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. In
addition, all firearm, stun gun, and taser transfers by
federally licensed firearm dealers are subject to Section 3.1.
(a-5) Any person who is not a federally licensed firearm
dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm while that
person is on the grounds of a gun show must, before selling or

conduct a background check on the prospective recipient of the
firearm in accordance with Section 3.1.
(a-10) Notwithstanding item (2) of subsection (a) of this
Section, any person who is not a federally licensed firearm
dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm or
firearms to any person who is not a federally licensed firearm
dealer shall, before selling or transferring the firearms,
contact a federal firearm license dealer under paragraph (1)
of subsection (a-15) of this Section to conduct the transfer
or the Illinois State Police with the transferee's or

HB1034 - 70 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b

2023. Until that date the transferor shall contact the
Illinois State Police with the transferee's or purchaser's
Firearm Owner's Identification Card number to determine the
validity of the card. The Illinois State Police may adopt
rules concerning the implementation of this subsection. The
Illinois State Police shall provide the seller or transferor
an approval number if the purchaser's Firearm Owner's
Identification Card is valid. Approvals issued by the Illinois
State Police for the purchase of a firearm pursuant to this
subsection are valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
(a-15) The provisions of subsection (a-10) of this Section
do not apply to:
(1) transfers that occur at the place of business of a
federally licensed firearm dealer, if the federally
licensed firearm dealer conducts a background check on the
prospective recipient of the firearm in accordance with
Section 3.1 of this Act and follows all other applicable
federal, State, and local laws as if he or she were the
seller or transferor of the firearm, although the dealer
is not required to accept the firearm into his or her
inventory. The purchaser or transferee may be required by
the federally licensed firearm dealer to pay a fee not to
exceed $25 per firearm, which the dealer may retain as

HB1034 - 71 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
compensation for performing the functions required under
this paragraph, plus the applicable fees authorized by
Section 3.1;
(2) transfers as a bona fide gift to the transferor's

gunsmith;
(6) temporary transfers that occur while in the home
of the unlicensed transferee, if the unlicensed transferee
is not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms and
the unlicensed transferee reasonably believes that
possession of the firearm is necessary to prevent imminent
death or great bodily harm to the unlicensed transferee;
(7) transfers to a law enforcement or corrections

HB1034 - 72 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
agency or a law enforcement or corrections officer acting
within the course and scope of his or her official duties;
(8) transfers of firearms that have been rendered
permanently inoperable to a nonprofit historical society,
museum, or institutional collection; and

requirement of possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification
Card under Section 2 of this Act.
(a-20) The Illinois State Police shall develop an
Internet-based system for individuals to determine the
validity of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card prior to the
sale or transfer of a firearm. The Illinois State Police shall
have the Internet-based system updated and available for use
by January 1, 2024. The Illinois State Police shall adopt
rules not inconsistent with this Section to implement this
system; but no rule shall allow the Illinois State Police to
retain records in contravention of State and federal law.
(a-25) On or before January 1, 2022, the Illinois State
Police shall develop an Internet-based system upon which the
serial numbers of firearms that have been reported stolen are
available for public access for individuals to ensure any
firearms are not reported stolen prior to the sale or transfer
of a firearm under this Section. The Illinois State Police
shall have the Internet-based system completed and available
for use by July 1, 2022. The Illinois State Police shall adopt
rules not inconsistent with this Section to implement this

HB1034 - 73 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
system.
(b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes
to be transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a
record of such transfer for a period of 10 years from the date
of transfer. Any person within this State who receives any
firearm, stun gun, or taser pursuant to subsection (a-10)
shall provide a record of the transfer within 10 days of the
transfer to a federally licensed firearm dealer and shall not
be required to maintain a transfer record. The federally
licensed firearm dealer shall maintain the transfer record for
20 years from the date of receipt. A federally licensed
firearm dealer may charge a fee not to exceed $25 to retain the
record. The record shall be provided and maintained in either
an electronic or paper format. The federally licensed firearm
dealer shall not be liable for the accuracy of any information
in the transfer record submitted pursuant to this Section.
Such records shall contain the date of the transfer; the
description, serial number or other information identifying
the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number is
available; and, if the transfer was completed within this
State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's Identification Card
number and any approval number or documentation provided by
the Illinois State Police pursuant to subsection (a-10) of
this Section; if the transfer was not completed within this
State, the record shall contain the name and address of the
transferee. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall

HB1034 - 74 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
contain the date of application for transfer of the firearm.
On demand of a peace officer such transferor shall produce for
inspection such record of transfer. For any transfer pursuant
to subsection (a-10) of this Section, on the demand of a peace
officer, such transferee shall identify the federally licensed
firearm dealer maintaining the transfer record. If the
transfer or sale took place at a gun show, the record shall
include the unique identification number. Failure to record
the unique identification number or approval number is a petty
offense. For transfers of a firearm, stun gun, or taser made on
or after January 18, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act
100-1178), failure by the private seller to maintain the
transfer records in accordance with this Section, or failure
by a transferee pursuant to subsection a-10 of this Section to
identify the federally licensed firearm dealer maintaining the
transfer record, is a Class A misdemeanor for the first
offense and a Class 4 felony for a second or subsequent offense
occurring within 10 years of the first offense and the second
offense was committed after conviction of the first offense.
Whenever any person who has not previously been convicted of
any violation of subsection (a-5), the court may grant
supervision pursuant to and consistent with the limitations of
Section 5-6-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections. A transferee
or transferor shall not be criminally liable under this
Section provided that he or she provides the Illinois State
Police with the transfer records in accordance with procedures

HB1034 - 75 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
established by the Illinois State Police. The Illinois State
Police shall establish, by rule, a standard form on its
website.
(b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person
within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States
mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law
to ship ammunition. Any resident purchasing ammunition within
or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a
copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card
or valid concealed carry license and either his or her
Illinois driver's license or Illinois State Identification
Card prior to the shipment of the ammunition. The ammunition
may be shipped only to an address on either of those 2
documents.
(c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer
of firearm ammunition shall not apply to those persons
specified in paragraph (b) of Section 2 of this Act.

or taser. In conducting the inquiry, the Illinois State Police
shall initiate and complete an automated search of its
criminal history record information files and those of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, including the National
Instant Criminal Background Check System, and of the files of
the Department of Human Services relating to mental health and
developmental disabilities to obtain any felony conviction or
patient hospitalization information which would disqualify a

by rule provide a process for the automatic renewal of the

HB1034 - 77 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b

description of any person prohibited from possessing a firearm

another by having in his or her custody or control,
purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm, ammunition, or

target of a threat or act of violence by the respondent, the
petitioner shall make a good faith effort to provide notice to
any and all intimate partners of the respondent. The notice

for an emergency firearms restraining order, and, if the
petitioner is a law enforcement officer, referral to relevant

resources, if appropriate. The petitioner shall attest to
having provided the notice in the filed affidavit or verified
pleading. If, after making a good faith effort, the petitioner
is unable to provide notice to any or all intimate partners,
the affidavit or verified pleading should describe what
efforts were made.
(c) Every person who files a petition for an emergency
firearms restraining order, knowing the information provided
to the court at any hearing or in the affidavit or verified
pleading to be false, is guilty of perjury under Section 32-2
of the Criminal Code of 2012.
(d) An emergency firearms restraining order shall be

HB1034 - 95 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
issued on an ex parte basis, that is, without notice to the
respondent.
(e) An emergency hearing held on an ex parte basis shall be

another by having in his or her custody or control,
purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm, ammunition, or
firearm parts that could be assembled to make an operable
firearm, the circuit or associate judge shall issue an
emergency order.
(f-5) If the court issues an emergency firearms
restraining order, it shall, upon a finding of probable cause
that the respondent possesses firearms, ammunition, or firearm
parts that could be assembled to make an operable firearm,
issue a search warrant directing a law enforcement agency to
seize the respondent's firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts
that could be assembled to make an operable firearm. The court

agency to search the respondent's residence and other places
where the court finds there is probable cause to believe he or
she is likely to possess the firearms, ammunition, or firearm
parts that could be assembled to make an operable firearm. A
return of the search warrant shall be filed by the law

HB1034 - 96 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b

Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and subsection (g)
of Section 70 of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.

this Section, upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, if
the firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts that could be
assembled to make an operable firearm or Firearm Owner's
Identification Card and concealed carry license cannot be
returned to the respondent because the respondent cannot be
located, fails to respond to requests to retrieve the
firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to possess a firearm,
ammunition, or firearm parts that could be assembled to make
an operable firearm, upon petition from the local law
enforcement agency, the court may order the local law

HB1034 - 97 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, ammunition, and
firearm parts that could be assembled to make an operable
firearm, use the firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts that
could be assembled to make an operable firearm for training
purposes, or use the firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts
that could be assembled to make an operable firearm for any
other application as deemed appropriate by the local law
enforcement agency.

respondent.
(h-6) If a person other than the respondent claims title
to any firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts that could be
assembled to make an operable firearm surrendered under this
Section, he or she may petition the court, if the petitioner is
present in court or has notice of the petition, to have the
firearm, ammunition, and firearm parts that could be assembled
to make an operable firearm returned to him or her. If the
court determines that person to be the lawful owner of the
firearm, ammunition, and firearm parts that could be assembled
to make an operable firearm, the firearm, ammunition, and
firearm parts that could be assembled to make an operable
firearm shall be returned to him or her, provided that:
(1) the firearm, ammunition, and firearm parts that

(i) In accordance with subsection (e) of this Section, the
court shall schedule a full hearing as soon as possible, but no
longer than 14 days from the issuance of an ex parte firearms
restraining order, to determine if a 6-month firearms
restraining order shall be issued. The court may extend an ex
parte order as needed, but not to exceed 14 days, to effectuate
service of the order or if necessary to continue protection.
The court may extend the order for a greater length of time by
mutual agreement of the parties.

Section 85. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:
(730 ILCS 5/5-6-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)
Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of probation and of conditional
discharge and disposition of supervision. The General
Assembly finds that in order to protect the public, the
criminal justice system must compel compliance with the
conditions of probation by responding to violations with
swift, certain and fair punishments and intermediate
sanctions. The Chief Judge of each circuit shall adopt a

HB1034 - 197 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
system of structured, intermediate sanctions for violations of
the terms and conditions of a sentence of probation,
conditional discharge or disposition of supervision.
(a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
the court is of the opinion that:
(1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
necessary for the protection of the public; or
(2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
inconsistent with the ends of justice; or
(3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug
Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the
public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.
The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of
the sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or
supervision, subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of

HB1034 - 198 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
this Act.
(b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic
imprisonment nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
(b-1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply
to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or felony under the
Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3
of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if
the defendant within the past 12 months has been convicted of
or pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor or felony under the
Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3
of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
(c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition
of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the
defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A
misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012: Sections
11-9.1; 12-3.2; 11-1.50 or 12-15; 26-5 or 48-1; 31-1; 31-6;
31-7; paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (a) of Section
21-1; paragraph (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11) of
subsection (a) of Section 24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor
violation of Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care
for Animals Act; or (iii) a felony. If the defendant is not

HB1034 - 199 - LRB104 03480 RLC 13503 b
barred from receiving an order for supervision as provided in
this subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision
after considering the circumstances of the offense, and the
history, character and condition of the offender, if the court
is of the opinion that:
(1) the offender is not likely to commit further
crimes;
(2) the defendant and the public would be best served
if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record;
and
(3) in the best interests of justice an order of
supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
permitted under this Code.
(c-5) Subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Section do not
apply to a defendant charged with a second or subsequent
violation of Section 6-303 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
committed while his or her driver's license, permit or
privileges were revoked because of a violation of Section 9-3
of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,

provision of a law of another state.

(3) pleaded guilty to or stipulated to the facts
supporting a charge or a finding of guilty to a violation
of Section 11-503 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
similar provision of a local ordinance or any similar law
or ordinance of another state, and the plea or stipulation
was the result of a plea agreement.
The court shall consider the statement of the prosecuting
authority with regard to the standards set forth in this
Section.
(e) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
defendant charged with violating Section 16-25 or 16A-3 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if said
defendant has within the last 5 years been:
(1) convicted for a violation of Section 16-25 or
16A-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
2012; or
(2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section
16-25 or 16A-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
Code of 2012.
