I wonder how they intend to prohibit out-of-state and overseas servers from hosting that code.

The way it's worded, I think it would be illegal to upload the code from within Illinois, as well as to host it within Illinois. I guess the next step would be to get telecom companies to block access to out-of-state servers, China-style.

I have to read through this more deeply, but my initial impression is that this is just another way to tell Illinois gun owners if we want the system fixed we'll have to pay more.

 

Representative Willis has been telling us we must pay $200 to $300 for fingerprints, that if we do that along with some smaller cost increases, she will get us our FOID cards post haste.

 

Now representative Hoffman tells us that no, we don't have to pay more for our rights, but it is an option if we'd actually like to exercise our rights in a timely manner.

 

There's really no difference between the two. They both want to transfer the cost of a failed system to the folks they impose that system on, telling us it's our problem to fix.

There was also something buried in there about charging the FOID applicant for the cost of a background check. No dollar figure and I did not see any guarantee of meeting the legislated timeline.

That's consistent with his HB602 that proposes to change the FOID cost to "...a $10 fee, plus applicable processing fees."

Hoffman is from Madison County, which voted over 2 to 1 to become a 2A sanctuary county. I don't think the folks in his district will smile on the idea of paying more to exercise their gun rights.

 

As an edit: I will confess I don't know what percentage of his district is in Madison County. I will say the gun culture down here is strong, and that's not restricted to Madison County alone.

HB745 has been added to our Oppose list.

 

 

Another amendment filed today:

 

House Amendment 1 to HB3485 Domestic Violence Hope Cards

 

Provides that the Supreme Court shall (rather than may) implement a program to issue a Hope Card to the petitioner of a plenary order of protection. Provides that 3 three Hope Cards per protected party (rather than the first Hope Card) issued shall be free. Allows the Supreme Court to establish a fee for any additional Hope Card, not to exceed $5 (rather than $7) per Hope Card.

I think you might be referring to page 42, lines 18-22. These seem to refer to paying for checking the optional fingerprints (lines 5-17) against ISP and FBI criminal history databases.

 

However...the proposed review board mentioned by Molly in post # 130 would be able to vote to require an applicant to provide electronic fingerprints (page 58, line 23 and on). Obviously, the applicant seeking review would be required to pay for the electronic fingerprints. And surely the cost of having them checked against databases as well.

HR163 Firearm Deaths - Reduce was filed this morning:

 

Synopsis As Introduced

Commits to passing meaningful legislation that will prevent people filled with hate from obtaining the means by which to end innocent lives.

 

 

I've added this to our oppose list, not becuase we disagree with the concept expressed in the bill's title, but because the language of the resolution is a "gotcha" political statement rather than an expression of a desire for solutions.

I'm adding HB3085 Cannabis - Possess Not Criminal to our list of bills under review. Though not normally a bill we would follow, concern was expressed by Representatives Stoneback, and Willis during today's House Judiciary - Criminal Committee hearing that this legislation would make more people eligible for a FOID card by removing felony convictions from their records. Once again, those they claim to defend are the subject of their disdain.

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Criminal Identification Act. Provides that the Illinois State Police and all law enforcement agencies within the State shall automatically expunge all criminal history records of an arrest, charge not initiated by arrest, order of supervision, or order of qualified probation for any person who, on or after January 1, 1970, has been convicted of, or is serving an order of supervision for, possession or delivery, but not manufacture or production, of cannabis whether or not the person has served or is serving his or her sentence for that violation on the effective date of the amendatory Act. Provides that the clerk of the circuit court shall, on the effective date of the amendatory Act, automatically expunge the court records of a person who, on or after January 1, 1970, has been convicted of, or is serving an order of supervision for, possession or delivery, but not manufacture or production, of cannabis whether or not the person has served or is serving his or her sentence for that violation on the effective date of the amendatory Act. Provides that a person imprisoned solely as a result of one or more convictions for possession or delivery, but not manufacture or production, of cannabis shall be released from incarceration on the effective date of the amendatory Act. Amends the Cannabis Control Act. Repeals the provision prohibiting the possession of cannabis. Modifies the provision prohibiting the delivery or manufacture of cannabis so it applies only to manufacture or production of cannabis. Amends the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act to make conforming changes.



The bill was moved out of committee with a probable amendment addressing this pending.

I like the next line even more:

 

 

WHEREAS, During the COVID-19 pandemic, Illinois has led
the nation in gun sales; and

WHEREAS, With so many people obtaining guns, many for the
first time,
we must address how we can maintain public safety
and prevent more tragedies by passing meaningful gun safety
legislation that will keep people safe; and

 

Can we say that the Illinois Legislature has recognized that increased gun sales are not exclusively current gun owners buying more guns, as the gun grabbers are fond of pontificating?

Well this is an odd one.

House Amendment 1 was filed on HB836 Private Detective - Training today:

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes: In provisions amending the Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security, Fingerprint Vendor, and Locksmith Act of 2004, provides that training for registered employees of a private detective agency, private detectives, and private security contractors may be provided in a classroom or seminar setting or via Internet-based online learning programs (rather than in a classroom setting or may be Internet-based online or other supervised computerized training); provides that the original form or a copy (rather than the form) that certifies that the employee successfully completed basic and annual training shall be placed in the employee's file with the employer for the period the employee remains with the employer (and makes conforming changes); and makes other changes. In provisions amending the Criminal Code of 2012, removes language that provides that specified provisions concerning the unlawful use of a weapon do not apply to an athlete's possession, transport on official Olympic and Paralympic transit systems established for athletes, or use of competition firearms sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee, the International Shooting Sport Federation, or USA Shooting in connection with such athlete's training for and participation in shooting competitions at the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games and sanctioned test events leading up to the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games; specifies that, for certain security guards, 20 hours of training for a security officer and 28 (rather than 20) hours of firearm training are required to qualify for an exemption; and makes conforming changes.

Provides that the Illinois 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.

Provides that the Illinois State Police shall deny an application or shall revoke and seize a Firearm Owner's Identification Card previously issued under the Act if the Illinois State Police finds that the applicant or person to whom such card was issued is or was at the time of issuance subject to a civil no contact order or a stalking no contact order.

We oppose this:

 

Senate Amendment 1 was filed on SB609 Display Of Imitation Firearms:

 

Defines an imitation firearm as a device or object reasonably capable of being mistaken for a firearm which includes, but is not limited to, an air gun, air pistol, B-B gun, paint ball gun, or pellet gun, but does not include a device that conforms with federal regulation on marking of imitation firearm (in the introduced version, any air gun, air pistol, B-B gun, paint ball gun, pellet gun, or any other implement that is not a firearm but is designed to resemble and has the appearance of a handgun whether or not the implement is capable of firing any shot, bullet, or other missile).

Not to beat on this too much, but I was just reading a SCOTUS case of NJ v Defense Distributed. Basically NJ sent Defense Distributed a cease-and-desist letter and is complaining that Defense Distributed wants to challenge the letter in a TX court. I suppose IL might try the same thing.
