26 | necessary to complete the investigation.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e) A licensee shall not allow an employee or other agent | ||||||
2 | of the licensee to have access to or control over firearms or | ||||||
3 | ammunition until the Department has conducted an investigation | ||||||
4 | under this Section, and verified that the person is the holder | ||||||
5 | of a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card and | ||||||
6 | that none of the conditions listed in Section 30 exist, as | ||||||
7 | applied to the person.
| ||||||
8 | (f) This Section shall only apply to employees, or | ||||||
9 | prospective employees of a licensee if those individuals will | ||||||

11 | Section shall apply to unpaid or paid volunteers or agents of | ||||||
12 | the licensee who will have access to or control over firearms | ||||||
13 | or ammunition, just as it applies to employees.
| ||||||
14 | Section 30. Grounds for license denial.
The Department | ||||||
15 | shall deny the issuance or renewal of a dealer license if the | ||||||

18 | or if the applicant:
| ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | denied on this ground, the applicant is prohibited from | ||||||
2 | reapplying for a license for a period of 5 years;
| ||||||
3 | (4) has had a license or permit to sell, lease, | ||||||
4 | transfer, purchase, or possess firearms or ammunition from | ||||||

18 | established by the Department. The renewal application and the | ||||||
19 | renewal fee must be received by the Department no later than 90 | ||||||
20 | days before the expiration of the current license.

3 | includes a listing of each firearm held by the licensee by | ||||||
4 | make, model, and serial number, together with a listing of each | ||||||
5 | firearm the licensee has sold since the last inventory period. | ||||||
6 | In addition, the inventory shall include a listing of each | ||||||
7 | firearm lost or stolen that is required to be reported under | ||||||
8 | federal law. The licensee shall include with the inventory an | ||||||
9 | affidavit signed by an authorized agent or employee on behalf | ||||||
10 | of the licensee under penalty of perjury stating that within | ||||||
11 | that particular date in April or October, as the case may be, | ||||||
12 | the signer personally confirmed the presence of the firearms | ||||||
13 | reported on the inventory. The licensee shall maintain the | ||||||
14 | inventory on the premises for which the license was issued for | ||||||
15 | a period of not less than 5 years from the date of the | ||||||

19 | rules requiring employees and agents of licensees to undergo | ||||||
20 | training regarding legal requirements and responsible business | ||||||
21 | practices as applicable to the sale or transfer of firearms or | ||||||
22 | ammunition. Before an employee or agent of a licensee has | ||||||
23 | access to or control over firearms or ammunition in the | ||||||
24 | licensee's inventory, the licensee shall ensure that the | ||||||
25 | employee or agent receives the training that the Department of |

| ||||||
6 | Section 55. Non-assignability.
A dealer license issued | ||||||
7 | under this Act is not assignable. Any attempt to assign a | ||||||
8 | dealer license shall result in revocation of the license.
| ||||||
9 | Section 60. Ammunition sales records.
| ||||||
10 | (a) No licensee or other person acting under the licensee's | ||||||
11 | authority shall sell or otherwise transfer ammunition from the | ||||||

14 | name, address, telephone number, and date of birth of the | ||||||
15 | transferee, the number of the transferee's current Firearm | ||||||

2 | time of purchase or transfer, obtain the right thumbprint of | ||||||
3 | the transferee on this form.
| ||||||
4 | (b) A licensee shall maintain the forms described in this | ||||||
5 | Section on the premises for which the licensee was issued for a | ||||||

18 | upon the request of federal, State, or local law enforcement.
| ||||||

23 | all places where firearms are stored, handled, sold, | ||||||
24 | transferred, or carried. The video surveillance system shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operate without interruption, whenever the licensee is open for | ||||||
2 | business. Whenever the licensee is not open for business, the | ||||||
3 | system shall be triggered by a motion detector and begin | ||||||
4 | recording immediately upon detection of any motion within the | ||||||
5 | monitored area. In addition, every sale or transfer of a | ||||||
6 | firearm shall be recorded by the video surveillance system in a | ||||||
7 | way that the facial features of the purchaser or transferee are | ||||||
8 | clearly visible. The stored images shall be maintained on the | ||||||
9 | business premises of the licensee for a period of not less than | ||||||
10 | one year from the date of recordation and shall be made | ||||||
11 | available for inspection by federal, State, or local law | ||||||

13 | authorized by federal, State, or local law or ordinance upon | ||||||
14 | compliance with those laws.
| ||||||
15 | (b) The business premises shall not be located in any | ||||||
16 | district or area that is zoned for residential use, or within | ||||||

18 | any location where it violates a valid local ordinance.
| ||||||
19 | Section 85. Warnings to consumers.
| ||||||
20 | (a) A licensee shall post in a conspicuous position on the | ||||||
21 | premises where the licensee conducts business a sign that | ||||||
22 | contains the following warning in block letters not less than | ||||||
23 | one inch in height:
"With few exceptions, it is unlawful for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | you to:
| ||||||
2 | (1) store or leave an unsecured firearm in a place | ||||||
3 | where a child can obtain access to it,

16 | transferring any firearm or ammunition on the effective date of | ||||||
17 | this Act shall, within 180 days of the effective date, comply | ||||||
18 | with this Act. However, any person whose business is located in | ||||||
19 | any location described in Section 80 of this Act may continue | ||||||
20 | to sell, lease, or transfer firearms or ammunition for up to 2 | ||||||
21 | years after the effective date of this Act. After the 2-year | ||||||

| ||||||
2 | (a) Any person who engages in the business of selling, | ||||||
3 | leasing, or otherwise transferring firearms or ammunition | ||||||

5 | Class 4 felony. The Department, the Department of State Police | ||||||
6 | and any law enforcement officer shall have the authority and | ||||||
7 | power to investigate any and all unlicensed activity.
| ||||||
8 | (b) The Department may refuse to renew, or may revoke or | ||||||
9 | suspend a license, or place on probation, reprimand, or take | ||||||
10 | other disciplinary or non-disciplinary action against a | ||||||
11 | licensee as the Department may deem appropriate, including | ||||||
12 | imposing fines not to exceed $10,000, for each violation of any | ||||||
13 | provision of this Act or any other applicable federal, State, | ||||||
14 | or local law by the licensee.
| ||||||
15 | (c) In addition to any other penalty or remedy, the | ||||||
16 | Department shall report any person or entity whose dealer | ||||||
17 | license is revoked or suspended or who is subject to other | ||||||
18 | disciplinary action under this Act to the Bureau of Alcohol, | ||||||
19 | Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives within the U.S. Department of | ||||||
20 | Justice, the Department of State Police, and to the local | ||||||
21 | sheriff or chief of police.
| ||||||
22 | Section 100. Enforcement; rulemaking.
| ||||||
23 | (a) This Act must be enforced by the Department, and may be | ||||||
24 | enforced, for the purpose of determining compliance with this | ||||||
25 | Act, by any municipality in which the licensee is located or, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | if the licensee is not located in a municipality, by the county | ||||||
2 | in which the licensee is located.
| ||||||
3 | (b) The Department shall adopt rules necessary for the | ||||||
4 | implementation and administration of this Act, in consultation | ||||||
5 | with the Department of State Police. The provisions of the | ||||||
6 | Illinois Administrative Procedure Act are hereby expressly | ||||||
7 | adopted and shall apply to all administrative rules and | ||||||
8 | procedures of the Department under this Act, except that the | ||||||
9 | provision of paragraph (d) of Section 10-65 of the Illinois | ||||||
10 | Administrative Procedure Act, which provides that at hearings | ||||||
11 | the licensee or person holding a license has the right to show | ||||||
12 | compliance with all lawful requirements for retention or | ||||||
13 | continuation of the license, is specifically excluded. For the | ||||||
14 | purpose of this Act, the notice required under Section 10-25 of | ||||||
15 | the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is deemed sufficient | ||||||
16 | when mailed to the last known address of record of a party. | ||||||
17 | Section 1005. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is | ||||||
18 | amended by changing Section 13.1 as follows:
| ||||||
19 | (430 ILCS 65/13.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-13.1)
| ||||||
20 | Sec. 13.1. Preemption.
| ||||||
21 | (a) Except as otherwise provided in the Firearm Concealed | ||||||
22 | Carry Act and subsections (b) and (c) of this Section, the | ||||||
23 | provisions of any ordinance enacted by any municipality which
| ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | limitations on the
acquisition, possession and transfer of | ||||||

Act, are not invalidated or | ||||||
3 | affected by this Act.
| ||||||
4 | (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, the | ||||||
5 | regulation, licensing, possession, and registration of | ||||||
6 | handguns and ammunition for a handgun, and the transportation | ||||||
7 | of any firearm and ammunition by a holder of a valid Firearm | ||||||
8 | Owner's Identification Card issued by the Department of State | ||||||
9 | Police under this Act are exclusive powers and functions of | ||||||
10 | this State. Any ordinance or regulation, or portion of that | ||||||
11 | ordinance or regulation, enacted on or before the effective | ||||||
