24 | | mental health evaluation by a physician, clinical |
25 | | psychologist, or qualified examiner as those terms are |
26 | | defined in the Mental Health and Developmental |
|
| | HB0899 | - 6 - | LRB101 07180 SLF 52218 b |
|
|
1 | | Disabilities Code, and has received a certification that he |
2 | | or she is not a clear and present danger to himself, |

4 | | or qualified examiner making the certification and his or |
5 | | her employer shall not be held criminally, civilly, or |

7 | | certification required under this subsection, except for |
8 | | willful or wanton misconduct. This subsection does not |
9 | | apply to a person whose firearm possession rights have been |
10 | | restored through administrative or judicial action under |
11 | | Section 10 or 11 of this Act. |
12 | | The Department of State Police shall revoke for one year |
13 | | the Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a card holder who |
14 | | reports to a local law enforcement agency his or her firearms |

21 | | card holder's firearm or firearms have been lost or stolen |
22 | | regardless of the number of firearms lost or stolen in the |
23 | | incident and the report of the loss or theft of the firearm or |
24 | | firearms on one occasion shall be considered one incident. If a |
25 | | law enforcement agency recovers a firearm that had been lost or |
26 | | stolen and has not been previously reported as lost or stolen, |
|
| | HB0899 | - 7 - | LRB101 07180 SLF 52218 b |
|
|
1 | | the recovery of the firearm shall be considered an incident for |
2 | | the purpose of this paragraph. |
3 | | Upon revocation of a person's Firearm Owner's |
4 | | Identification Card, the Department of State Police shall |
5 | | provide notice to the person and the person shall comply with |
6 | | Section 9.5 of this Act. |

21 | | impossible for
the accused to commit the offense attempted.

14 | | imposed by the court;
|
15 | | (C) an attempt to commit first degree murder during |

23 | | another person is a Class X felony for which 25 years |
24 | | or up to a term of
natural life shall be added to the |
25 | | term of imprisonment imposed by the court; and
|

3 | | and intense passion resulting from serious provocation |
4 | | by the individual whom the defendant endeavored to |
5 | | kill, or another, and, had the individual the defendant |
6 | | endeavored to kill died, the defendant would have |
7 | | negligently or accidentally caused that death, then |
8 | | the sentence for the attempted murder is the sentence |
9 | | for a Class 1 felony;
|
10 | | (2) the sentence for attempt to commit a Class X felony |
11 | | is the sentence
