1 | | (b) The Department shall study, on a regular and ongoing |
2 | | basis, and compile reports on the number of Firearm Owner's |
3 | | Identification Card checks to determine firearms trafficking |
4 | | or straw purchase patterns. The Department shall, to the extent |
5 | | not inconsistent with law, share such reports and underlying |
6 | | data with academic centers, foundations, and law enforcement |
7 | | agencies studying firearms trafficking, provided that |
8 | | personally identifying information is protected. For purposes |
9 | | of this subsection (b), a Firearm Owner's Identification Card |
10 | | number is not personally identifying information, provided |
11 | | that no other personal information of the card holder is |
12 | | attached to the record. The Department may create and attach an |
13 | | alternate unique identifying number to each Firearm Owner's |
14 | | Identification Card number, instead of releasing the Firearm |
15 | | Owner's Identification Card number itself. |
16 | | (c) Each department, office, division, and agency of this
|
17 | | State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law, cooperate
|
18 | | fully with the Department and furnish the
Department with all |
19 | | relevant information and assistance on a
timely basis as is |
20 | | necessary to accomplish the purpose of this
Act. The Illinois |
21 | | Criminal Justice Information Authority shall submit the |
22 | | information required in subsection (a) of this Section to the |
23 | | Department of State Police, and any other information as the |
24 | | Department may request, to assist the Department in carrying |
25 | | out its duties under this Act.
