firearm dealer, gun | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | show promoter, or gun show vendor who is to transfer a firearm, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | stun gun, or taser under the provisions of this

| ||||||
| 10 | the Department of Human Services relating to mental health and
| ||||||
| 11 | developmental disabilities to obtain
any felony conviction or | ||||||
| 12 | patient hospitalization information which would
disqualify a | ||||||
| 13 | person from obtaining or require revocation of a currently
| ||||||
| 14 | valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. | ||||||
| 15 | (c) If receipt of a firearm would not violate Section 24-3 | ||||||
| 16 | of the Criminal Code of 2012, federal law, or this Act the | ||||||
| 17 | Department of State Police shall: | ||||||
| 18 | (1) assign a unique identification number to the | ||||||

| 4 | regarding confidentiality, enter into a memorandum of | ||||||
| 5 | understanding with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the | ||||||
| 6 | purpose of implementing the National Instant Criminal | ||||||
| 7 | Background Check System in the State. The Department of State | ||||||
| 8 | Police shall report the name, date of birth, and physical | ||||||
