Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Department of State Police Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that the Director of State Police shall (rather than may) establish a statewide multi-jurisdictional Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force. Provides that the Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force shall also conduct enforcement operations against persons whose Firearm Owner's Identification Cards have been revoked or suspended and persons who fail to comply with the revocation or suspension requirements of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, prioritizing individuals presenting a clear and present danger to themselves or to others under that Act. Provides that the Task Force shall collaborate with local law enforcement agencies to enforce provisions of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, the Firearm Dealer License Certification Act, and the Deadly Weapons Article of the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that the Director of State Police may establish intergovernmental contracts written and executed in conformity with the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act. Provides that the Department of State Police shall establish a portal for use by federal, State, or local law enforcement agencies, including Offices of the State's Attorneys and the Office of the Attorney General to capture a report of persons whose Firearm Owner's Identification Cards have been revoked or suspended. Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Modifies definition of "clear and present danger". Provides that an applicant for the issuance or renewal of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall include a full set of his or her fingerprints in electronic format to the Department of State Police, unless the applicant has previously provided a full set of his or her fingerprints to the Department under the Act or the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Provides that a Firearm Owner's Identification Card issued under the Act shall be valid for the person to whom it is issued for a period of 5 years (rather than 10 years) from the date of issuance, but provides that any person whose card was previously issued for a period of 10 years shall retain the 10-year issuance period until the next date of renewal, at which point the card shall be renewed for 5 years. Provides that a person who receives a revocation or suspension notice under the Act (currently, only revocation notice) shall, within 48 hours of receiving notice of the revocation or suspension: (1) surrender his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card to the local law enforcement agency where the person resides; and (2) complete a Firearm Disposition Record on a form prescribed by the Department of State Police and place his or her firearms in the location or with the person reported in the Firearm Disposition Record. Provides that any transfer of a surrendered firearm must be conducted under the firearm transfer provisions of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that nothing in the firearm revocation or suspension provisions of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act prevents a court from ordering an individual to surrender his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card to a law enforcement agency of the court's choosing in a timeframe shorter than 48 hours after receipt of the notice of revocation or suspension. Provides that the Firearm Disposition Record shall contain a statement to be signed by the transferee that the transferee: (1) is aware of, and will abide by, current law regarding the unlawful transfer of a firearm; (2) is aware of the penalties for violating the law as it pertains to unlawful transfer of a firearm; and (3) intends to retain possession of the firearm or firearms until it is determined that the transferor is legally eligible to possess a firearm and has an active Firearm Owners Identification Card, if applicable, or until a new person is chosen to hold the firearm or firearms. Amends the State Finance Act. Creates the State Police Revocation Enforcement Fund and the School-Based Mental Health Services Fund in the State treasury and defines their purposes. Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Provides that an applicant for renewal need not resubmit a full set of fingerprints if the applicant has previously done so under the Act or the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that a person commits the offense of unlawful sale or delivery of firearms when he or she transfers ownership of a firearm to a person in violation of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. This offense is a Class 4 felony. Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 and the Unified Code of Corrections. Modifies requirements for transfer of firearms to a law enforcement agency as required under those Acts. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

 

House Amendment 2 - House Adopted

 

In the amendatory changes to the State Finance Act, eliminates the School-Based Mental Health Services Fund and provides that moneys in the Mental Health Reporting Fund may be used for reporting prohibitors to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Provides that any surplus moneys in the Fund shall be used as follows: (1) 50% shall be used to fund community-based mental health programs aimed at reducing gun violence, community integration and education, or mental health awareness and prevention, including administrative costs; and (2) 50% shall be used to award grants that use and promote the National School Mental Health Curriculum model for school-based mental health support, integration, and services. In the amendatory changes to the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, provides that a live scan fingerprint vendor may not charge more than $30 per set of fingerprints. Reduces the application and renewal fees for Firearm Owner's Identification Cards from $50 to $20. Changes the amounts of the distribution of fees for applications for Firearm Owner's Identification Cards to various funds.

 

House Amendment 3 - House Adopted

 

Restores language that any person within the State who, before the provisions concerning transferring firearms only through federally licensed firearm dealers become operative, shall keep a record of the transfer for a period of 10 years from the date of transfer under the same requirements before the provisions became operative and with the same penalties for violations.

That Gun Safe Storage Act is another Willis Constitutional Abomination.

You mean she can't nullify a Supreme Court ruling?

 

 

Perhaps some legal action needs to be taken, punitively, to curtail her blatant and rampant waste of taxpayer funds for introducing legislation that she knows undeniably are in violation of the Constitution and SCOTUS precedent.

I don't have all the details in front of me. But didn't something like this pass last year in Washington state? Is there a legal challenge to it and if so does anyone know the status?

Washington Initiative 1639. It wasn't a legislative action. It was a ballot initiative. It passed by referendum 60% / 40%. It became effective July 1, 2019. There is a lawsuit challenging it. An attempt to enjoin its enforcement failed. Lots of chiefs of police and sheriffs made public statements that they refused to enforce it. The state AG issued a statement that cops don't get to make decisions about what laws they enforce.

 

BTW, this one wasn't a Bloomberg thing. This one was Bill Gates and Steve Balmer.

 

It does more than make criminals out of people who have a firearm stolen if they didn't lock it up. It defines "assault weapon" as any rifle that uses a "portion of the energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case and chamber the next round" (i.e., every semi-auto). It raises the age to own a handgun to 21. It requires all firearm owners (not just concealed carriers) to take a firearm safety class at least once every five years. It requires a 10-day waiting period for transfers. (BTW, Washington already had "universal" background checks, so all transfers already had to go through an FFL.) It requires FFLs to notify the local sheriff that a person intends to transfer a gun and allows the sheriff to delay the delivery for an additional 30 days (i.e., 40 days total) while the sheriff checks them out or possibly blocks the transfer.

 

Ballot initiatives require a certain number of petition signatures to get them on the ballot. Proponents got the initiative on the ballot by setting up petition tables at grocery stores and telling people the petition was to oppose the implementation of a new grocery tax. Opponents were originally able to block the ballot initiative before the election as fraudulent, but on appeal the proponents were able to get it back on the ballot.

The Cities of Edmonds and Seattle passed safe storage ordinances that were challenged as violations of state preemption by SAF and NRA. In the City of Edmonds case , there was initial success in the Snohomish County Superior Court. It may end up in the Washington Supreme Court because the King County judge in the Seattle cased ruled in the opposite.

Like state officials don't get to decide which parts of federal immigration law they enforce? Right Mr./Mrs./Ms. Washington State AG?
