mauserme Posted April 15, 2021 at 12:39 AM Author Posted April 15, 2021 at 12:39 AM . In House Committee today, SB2769 Safety - Tech appears on the Police & Fire Committee schedule. While we oppose this blatant attempt to get microstamping into law as a precursor to future mandates, our attention has necessarily been focused on SB1165 FOID Modernization instead. The latter, cynically being promoted as a bill to help gun owners, is nothing more than a step toward requiring fingerprints of all who wish to exercise their Second Amendment rights in Illinois while adding road block after road block to the process. If you are in Senator DeWitte's or Senator Curran's district please call and ask them to remove their sponsorship of SB1165, and any like it. In the House yesterday, the following bills were moved to 3rd reading: HB638 State Poice - Fund Lockbox HB716 Violence Reduction - Grant Fund The House is scheduled for 12:00 Noon and the Senate presumably for Noon.
