| ||||||
6 | (430 ILCS 65/5) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-5)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 5. The Department of State Police shall either approve | ||||||
8 | or
deny all applications within 30 days from the date they are | ||||||
9 | received,
and every applicant found qualified pursuant to | ||||||
10 | Section 8 of this Act by
the Department shall be entitled to a | ||||||
11 | Firearm Owner's Identification
Card upon the payment of a $10 | ||||||
12 | fee. Any applicant who is an active duty member of the Armed | ||||||
13 | Forces of the United States, a member of the Illinois National | ||||||
14 | Guard, or a member of the Reserve Forces of the United States | ||||||
15 | is exempt from the application fee. $6 of each fee derived from | ||||||
16 | the
issuance of Firearm Owner's Identification Cards, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | renewals thereof,
shall be deposited in the Wildlife and Fish | ||||||
2 | Fund in the State Treasury;
$1 of such fee shall be deposited | ||||||
3 | in the State Police Services Fund and $3 of such fee shall be | ||||||
4 | deposited in the
Firearm Owner's Notification Fund. Monies in | ||||||
5 | the Firearm Owner's
Notification Fund shall be used exclusively | ||||||
6 | to pay for the cost of sending
notices of expiration of Firearm | ||||||
7 | Owner's Identification Cards under Section
13.2 of this Act.
| ||||||
8 | Excess monies in the Firearm Owner's Notification Fund shall be | ||||||
9 | used to
ensure the prompt and efficient processing of | ||||||
10 | applications received under
Section 4 of this Act. The | ||||||
11 | Department of State Police shall mail a notarized receipt to | ||||||
12 | the applicant at the address listed on the application or | ||||||
13 | renewal application indicating that the Department of State | ||||||
14 | Police has received the application or renewal application. In | ||||||
15 | cases where the Department of State Police fails to either | ||||||
16 | approve or deny the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification | ||||||
17 | Card application within 30 days as required by this Section, | ||||||
18 | the notarized receipt shall serve in lieu of a presumptively | ||||||
19 | valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card until the Department | ||||||
20 | of State Police has made a final determination of approval or | ||||||
21 | denial of the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
