I have reviewed HB5401 – HB5500 and SB3701 – SB3827 (The rest in my group: HB5501-5600 and SB3828-3900 have not yet been filed.) There are a number of firearm related bills.

 

Good

HB5489 – Pam Roth. Changes the "age of consent" for FOID card issuance from 21 to 18.

SB3740 – Christine Johnson. Allows additional hunting season for counties with deer herds affected with chronic wasting disease.

SB3772 – Christine Johnson. Establishes Illinois License to Carry Firearms for Self-Defense Act. Allows CCW in Illinois!!!!! Sounds like a direct Senate corollary to HB148.

SB3791 – Darin LaHood. Takes away home rule training requirements for possession of a firearm. Would stop some of Chicago's current ridiculous regulations.

 

 

Neutral

SB3730 - Michael Frerichs. Technical change in "use of force" statue.

SB3820 – Michael Noland. Technical change in "use of force" statue.

 

 

Bad

HB5424 - Sara Feigenholtz. Prohibits sales of more than one handgun in 30 days, and creates a new offence to unlawfully acquire a handgun.

HB5432 - Ann Williams. Technical change in "use of force" statue. Labeled "bad" based on her past voting record.

Not sure if we need this one from Reis, but just in case

 

 

HB5367 - Hunting Permits Relatives Fees

 

 

Amends the Wildlife Code. Provides that nonresident relatives, including children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, sisters, and brothers of State landowners who own at least 40 acres shall be charged a permit fee equal to the resident's turkey or deer hunting permit fee for hunting on the relative's land only.

 

 

 

 

lockman, the group you requested is HB5801 - HB6000

SB3772 – Christine Johnson. Establishes Illinois License to Carry Firearms for Self-Defense Act. Allows CCW in Illinois!!!!! Sounds like a direct Senate corollary to HB148.

 

This says the CCW permit is only good for 3 years, I would have liked to see 5 at least. Also, they still say one of the qualifications for instructor is "National Rifle Association Pistol Marksmanship Instructor". I thought that was supposed to be changed to "Basic Pistol Instructor".

 

Using Google I can find some references to a National Rifle Association Pistol Marksmanship Instructor, but I'll be darned if I can find information on how to become one.

It's at first reading, HB148 is at third. 3772 is a long way from being law, lots can/could happen. Don't get too hung up on details at this point.

I think I saw someplace a few months ago that Illinois already had a law that basically did that. The Illinois paintball act or something on that order. Under current law the under .18 and 700 fps are not considered firearms. I would prefer to see something more in line with 15 USC 5001, subsection g, No state or municipality may regulate the sale,transfer, or manufacture of air guns, bb guns, pellet guns, etc. Then companies like Pyramyd Air would ship large caliber, or fast airguns to illinois which they will not do now because of the FOID act and definition of a firearm uncluding airguns over .18 and/ or 700 fps.

Maybe of interest, maybe not:

 

HB5612

 

Synopsis As Introduced

Amends the Wildlife Code. Provides that deer may be taken in the State with rifles that fire certain handgun cartridges. Provides that over and under combination rifle-shotguns are prohibited.

 

***Personal comment*** Why would O/U combos be prohibited as long as both met the caliber/gauge requirements?? *********

 

Some shells dealing with the IDNR:

 

HB5618, HB5619, HB5620 and HB5621.

 

And... another carry bill, for tasers:

 

HB5649

House Sponsor Rep. Roger L. Eddy

 

Synopsis As Introduced

Creates the Stun Gun and Taser Concealed Carry Licensing Act. Provides that the Department of State Police shall issue a license authorizing a person to carry or possess a concealed stun gun or taser on or about his or her person to an applicant who: (1) is at least 18 years of age; (2) possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card; (3) pays a license fee prescribed by the Department; (4) is not prohibited from possessing a firearm under the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, or the Deadly Weapons Article of the Criminal Code of 1961; and (5) demonstrates to the Department completion of a training course approved by the Department in the safe handling of a stun gun or taser and the laws concerning the justified use of force in defense of the person. Provides that a person issued a license to carry a concealed stun gun or taser may carry a stun gun or taser concealed upon his or her person and may use a stun gun or taser against another person in the exercise of reasonable force in defense of his or her person or in defense of other persons if the use of that force is justified under the Justifiable Use of Force Article of the Criminal Code of 1961. Prohibits the knowing carrying of a concealed stun gun or taser in certain places. Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that the unlawful use of weapons statute and the aggravated unlawful use of a weapon statute does not apply to or affect a licensee under the Stun Gun and Taser Concealed Carry Licensing Act, notwithstanding the provisions of that Act prohibiting the carrying of a concealed stun gun or taser in certain places, if the licensee meets the requirements of that Act. Effective immediately

 

That's all in the first 65 bills of my block in the House.

I put you down for the last 2 groups of house bills nocaster.

 

The House deadline to file substansive bills is today and the Senate deadline has already passed, so we're almost done.

 

 

It looks to me like House Bills on this page (http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/default.asp) only go up to 5901. Since I am assigned 6000-6400, it looks like my job is done? Let me know if I am wrong, or if you want me to look at anything else.

Checked HB5501 - HB5600

 

Good

HB5571 - Joe Sosnowski. Exempts Real Estate brokers and salesmen from Aggravated UUW Statute. (However, they must take security officer training to qualify, before they can legally carry a firearm.)

Here's a recap of the work we've done.

 

These lists pick up where 45superman's lists left off. I have not included every shell bill and everything involving wildlfe. The wildlife bills, though important to many members, often do not touch directly on firearms. The shell bills are too numerous to watch them all, but I will check any that show up on the daily calendar. If you feel strongly about including any that have been omitted please let me know.
