1 | AN ACT concerning safety.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||

11 | the eligibility requirements of the Firearm Owners | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Identification Card Act. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

15 | protection, or interim order of protection under Article 112A | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 or under the Illinois | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | Domestic Violence Act of 1986, is issued against a licensee for | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | the duration of the order, or if the Department is made aware | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | of a similar order issued against the licensee in any other | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | jurisdiction. If an order of protection is issued against a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | licensee, the licensee shall surrender the license, as | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | applicable, to the court at the time the order is entered or to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | the law enforcement agency or entity serving process at the |
| |||||||
| |||||||

2 | enforcement agency, or entity responsible for serving the order | ||||||
3 | of protection shall notify the Department within 7 days and | ||||||
4 | transmit the license to the Department. | ||||||
5 | (c) A license is invalid upon expiration of the license, | ||||||
6 | unless the licensee has submitted an application to renew the | ||||||
7 | license, and the applicant is otherwise eligible to possess a | ||||||
8 | license under this Act. | ||||||
9 | (d) A licensee shall not carry a concealed firearm while | ||||||
10 | under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, | ||||||
11 | intoxicating compound or combination of compounds, or any | ||||||
12 | combination thereof, under the standards set forth in | ||||||
13 | subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. | ||||||
14 | A licensee in violation of this subsection (d) shall be | ||||||
15 | guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first or second violation | ||||||
16 | and a Class 4 felony for a third violation. The Department may | ||||||
17 | suspend a license for up to 6 months for a second violation and | ||||||
18 | shall permanently revoke a license for a third violation. | ||||||
19 | (e) Except as otherwise provided, a licensee in violation | ||||||
20 | of this Act shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. A second | ||||||
21 | or subsequent violation is a Class A misdemeanor. The | ||||||
22 | Department may suspend a license for up to 6 months for a | ||||||
23 | second violation and shall permanently revoke a license for 3 | ||||||
24 | or more violations of Section 65 of this Act. Any person | ||||||
25 | convicted of a violation under this Section , other than a | ||||||
26 | violation of Section 65 of this Act, shall pay a $150 fee to be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deposited into the Mental Health Reporting Fund, plus any | ||||||
2 | applicable court costs or fees. Any person convicted of a | ||||||
3 | violation of Section 65 of this Act shall pay a $500 fee to be | ||||||
4 | deposited into the Mental Health Reporting Fund, plus any | ||||||
5 | applicable court costs or fees. | ||||||
6 | (f) A licensee convicted or found guilty of a violation of | ||||||
7 | this Act who has a valid license and is otherwise eligible to | ||||||
8 | carry a concealed firearm shall only be subject to the | ||||||
9 | penalties under this Section and shall not be subject to the | ||||||
10 | penalties under Section 21-6, paragraph (4), (8), or (10) of | ||||||
11 | subsection (a) of Section 24-1, or subparagraph (A-5) or (B-5) | ||||||
12 | of paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1.6 of the | ||||||
13 | Criminal Code of 2012. Except as otherwise provided in this | ||||||
14 | subsection, nothing in this subsection prohibits the licensee | ||||||
15 | from being subjected to penalties for violations other than | ||||||
16 | those specified in this Act. | ||||||
17 | (g) A licensee whose license is revoked, suspended, or | ||||||
18 | denied shall, within 48 hours of receiving notice of the | ||||||
19 | revocation, suspension, or denial surrender his or her | ||||||
20 | concealed carry license to the local law enforcement agency | ||||||
21 | where the person resides. The local law enforcement agency | ||||||
22 | shall provide the licensee a receipt and transmit the concealed | ||||||
23 | carry license to the Department of State Police. If the | ||||||
24 | licensee whose concealed carry license has been revoked, | ||||||
25 | suspended, or denied fails to comply with the requirements of | ||||||
26 | this subsection, the law enforcement agency where the person |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | resides may petition the circuit court to issue a warrant to | ||||||
2 | search for and seize the concealed carry license in the | ||||||
3 | possession and under the custody or control of the licensee | ||||||
4 | whose concealed carry license has been revoked, suspended, or | ||||||
5 | denied. The observation of a concealed carry license in the | ||||||
6 | possession of a person whose license has been revoked, | ||||||
7 | suspended, or denied constitutes a sufficient basis for the | ||||||
8 | arrest of that person for violation of this subsection. A | ||||||
9 | violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||
10 | (h) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be | ||||||
11 | revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found ineligible for a | ||||||
12 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the licensee no longer | ||||||
13 | possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. A | ||||||
14 | licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection (h) | ||||||
15 | shall surrender his or her concealed carry license as provided | ||||||
16 | for in subsection (g) of this Section. | ||||||
17 | This subsection shall not apply to a person who has filed | ||||||
18 | an application with the State Police for renewal of a Firearm
| ||||||
19 | Owner's Identification Card and who is not otherwise ineligible | ||||||
20 | to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
