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