Yes, it's quiet. Some might say it's too quiet. Not that we're looking for a fight but, if it's a fight they want, stop lurking in the shadows and show us what you've got.

Quite a few bills were assigned to committees this week. We anticipate several will be in a weekend alert.


The House is scheduled for 11:30 AM today; the Senate are scheduled for 12:30 PM.

Next Days Scheduled

House: 3/3/2020

House Amendment 1 - House Adopted


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Task Force shall also conduct enforcement operations against persons whose Firearm Owner's Identification Cards have been revoked or suspended and persons who fail to comply with the revocation or suspension requirements of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, prioritizing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and the Office of the Attorney General to capture a report of persons whose Firearm Owner's Identification Cards have been revoked or suspended.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

What does "House Adopted" mean? New to this trying to figure out was going on.

The Senate sent the bill to the House with language totally unrelated to us.

 

Three amendments were filed on the bill in the House. All three were adopted while the bill was still in the House, meaning the purpose of the bill was changed by those amendments. After adopting the amendments the House passed the bill back to the Senate where their concurrence on those changes is pending.

Also, as an FYI SB1966 is also a bill where shenanigans have been played. Instead of a straightforward firearms bill, it started life as a PUBLIC DEFENDER BAIL PROGRAM which in turn was changed by amendments so the status and current intent of bill may not be obvious.

During duck season on the Chesapeake we used to bring our shotguns to school. That was also 45 years ago.

This world is crazy or I am old and probably both. Boys are girls and girls are boys and kids watch their phones instead of t.v.with the family. Law abiding citizens are criminals, criminals murder on tuesday and are out by friday to do it again. My head is spinning.

My reading of the bill would prohibit the teacher from bringing a shot gun or even anything that looks like a weapon to show proper function or cleaning is my guess.

As Hatchet said it disallows hands on training to a degree, plus it's duplicative of existing law, and it conflicts with some exceptions granted in Unlawful Use of Weapons.

Is there a way to receive an email alert when a post goes up calling for witness slips to be completed? I sense there is, but do not know how....

 

There sure is.

You can subscribe to email alerts here.

Will that get you all alerts or just witness slip alerts? I am mostly concerned with getting witness. Slip alerts. I don't need a bunch of alerts saying done

The "done" emails you mentioned come from following a call to action posted as a topic on the forum. Those topics mirror the alerts sent out by email.

 

Subscribing to emails will primarily get you calls to action when the legislature is in session, but without the "done" responses. You might also get an occasional update about a court case, an end-of-session recap, etc. It's a different system, but with some overlap of the information provided.

They are probably waiting for something to happen. I'm sure there was some ghoulish debate about whether the Miller shooting was big enough to use for their evil purposes.

African American E. Warren supporter who got everything through legal means (and handguns were used). Not much to go off of in terms of agenda pushing. They’re upset I’m sure that it wasn’t a white guy shooting up a school

Not only that, but I also suspect that he passed the extended NFA / FBI suppressor background check.
