Yesterday, 1/4/2022, was to have been the first legislative day of 2022. The House and Senate canceled that session as well as tomorrow's. Rumors abound that session next week may also be canceled.

 

For today, the House is likely scheduled for 12:00 Noon today, though a firm start time hasn't been announced as I post this. The Senate is scheduled for 11:00 AM.

 

We expect little of substance today. The House will probably adopt HR595 House Rules – Amend extending remote voting procedures through 6/1/2022. There may also be a bill or two moved from second to third reading, none of them related to our 2A rights.

 

Going forward we will keep a wary eye on potential movement of anti-gun bills, including:

 

HB4296 Concealed Carry – Forest Preserve

 

Synopsis As Introduced


Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Provides that a licensee under the Act shall not knowing carry a firearm into a campground, aquatic center, grounds of an aquatic center, boat launch, boating center, athletic venue, picnic grove, nature center, grounds of a nature center, pavilion, grounds of a pavilion, golf course, golf course parking lot, driving range, adventure course, grounds of an adventure course, zipline building, grounds of a zipline, equestrian center, grounds of an equestrian center, exercise venue, grounds of an exercise venue, any Illinois Nature Preserve, Land and Water Reserve, or any public or private gathering or special event conducted on property that requires the issuance of a permit under the control of the Cook County Forest Preserve District (rather than real property under the control of the Cook County Forest Preserve District). Provides that a licensee under the Act shall not knowingly carry a firearm in any public park, athletic area, or athletic facility under the control of a forest preserve district or any building, real property, or parking area under the control of a botanic garden.

 

 

And in the Senate:

 

SB2956 Unserial Firearm Serialization

 

Synopsis As Introduced


Creates the Unserialized Firearm Serialization Act. Provides that the Illinois State Police shall maintain a database of each firearm possessed in the State that does not have a serial number imprinted on the firearm by a federal firearms importer or a federal firearms manufacturer. Provides that within 180 days after the effective date of the Act, the owner of a firearm that does not have a serial number imprinted on the firearm by a federal firearms importer or a federal firearms manufacturer shall submit an application to register the firearm with the Illinois State Police. Provides that upon the filing of the application, the Illinois State Police shall assign a unique serial number and conditionally register the firearm pending confirmation that the serial number has been imprinted on the firearm. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to provide criminal penalties for a person to knowingly sell, offer to sell, or transfer a firearm that is not imprinted with a serial number issued under the Unserialized Firearm Serialization Act or by a federal firearms importer or federal firearms manufacturer in compliance with all federal laws and regulations regulating the manufacture and import of firearms, unless the person selling and the person receiving or purchasing the firearm is a law enforcement agency, federal firearms importer, or federal firearms manufacturer. Provides other exceptions. Amend the Freedom of Information Act to make conforming changes. Contains a severability provision.

 

 

Assaults on our rights are never ending. Our vigilance, our dedication to protecting those rights must be equally enduring.
