FSB FAQ changes: 18 mo extension + new card processing priority

[InterestedBystander]

A couple of new things I noticed on the ISP FSB FAQ (although extension doesn't look consistent across all of the FAQ yet):

 

Verification of new apps getting priority over renewals:

 

Q. I submitted a FOID/CCL application last month. Are new FOID and CCL applications still being processed or only applications for renewal?

 

A. Because of the executive order and emergency administrative rules, new applications are being processed ahead of renewals, but you should expect delays. Like all entities, our normal operations have been impacted by COVID-19.

 

Extension of "expired" cards from 12 months to 18 months

 

Q. What is the impact of the state's disaster declaration on my CCL expiration Date?

 

A. Firearms Owners Identification (FOID) card holders and Concealed Carry License (CCL) holders, who submit their renewal application will remain valid during the duration of the state's disaster proclamation and for a period of 18 months (previously12 months) following the termination of the disaster, even if their renewal application is/was not submitted prior to expiration. Renewal CCL holders will need to submit proof of their three-hour renewal training within 18 months following the termination of the state's disaster proclamation in order to maintain the validity of their CCL

They seem to have multiples posted now with new ISP page, but this came from the ISPFSB link under Covid-19 section.
