AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1155
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 1155, AS AMENDED, by
inserting the following in its proper numeric sequence:
"Section 3. Act implementation.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary,
this Act shall be fully implemented no later than on January 1,
2016; however, the Act may be implemented and licenses to carry
may be issued under this Act prior to January 1, 2016, if a
report is issued to the General Assembly prior to January 1,
2016 from the Department of State Police, Department of Human
Services, and Illinois Association of Circuit Court Clerks,
indicating that the agencies and association have adopted,
addressed, and remedied the findings of the Illinois Auditor
General's Report from April 2012.
(b) The Illinois Auditor General's Report from April 2012
indicated that there was a lack of reporting by circuit court
clerks, with only 3 of 102 counties submitting mental health

09800HB1155ham045 - 2 - LRB098 08475 MRW 43280 a
court orders to the Department of State Police as required by
the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, and that 27 of the
121 orders that were issued by the circuit courts were not
properly reported by the Department of State Police to the
federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System
(NICS) database. The report further indicated that the
Department of Human Services did not properly distinguish
between voluntary and involuntary admissions to mental health
service facilities, and therefore the Department of State
Police could not distinguish between disqualifying mental
health admissions among persons possessing a Firearm Owner's
Identification Card. Finally, among those persons possessing a
Firearm Owner's Identification Card who did have
disqualifications reported, only 30% of those persons
disqualified under the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act
actually returned their revoked Firearm Owner's Identification
Cards to the Department of State Police. Implementation of this
Act will present similar reporting issues and therefore cannot
be effectively implemented until a remedy for the Firearm
Owners Identification Card Act problems are completed and
similar remedies can be applied to implementation of this Act.
(c) If no report is issued as provided under subsection (a)
of this Section prior to January 1, 2016, the Department of
State Police may not issue licenses to carry under this Act
until on and after January 1, 2016.".
