Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that an immediate family member of a person or a law enforcement officer may file a petition requesting that the court issue either a plenary or ex parte gun violence restraining order enjoining the subject of the petition from having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm or firearm ammunition. Provides that a court may issue a gun violence restraining order if the petition, supported by an affidavit made in writing and signed by the petitioner under oath, or an oral statement, and any additional information provided to the court that shows that there is a substantial likelihood that both of the following are true: (1) the subject of the petition poses a clear and present danger of personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm; and (2) a gun violence restraining order is necessary to prevent personal injury to the subject of the petition or another because less restrictive alternatives either have been tried and found to be ineffective, or are inadequate or inappropriate for the circumstances of the subject of the petition. Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to make conforming changes.

13 | | Sec. 8.3. Gun violence restraining order. |
14 | | (a) The Supreme Court may prescribe the form of the |
15 | | petitions and orders and any other documents, and may adopt any |
16 | | rules of court, necessary to implement this Section. |
17 | | (b) An immediate family member of a person or a law |
18 | | enforcement officer may file a petition requesting that the |
19 | | court issue either a plenary or ex parte gun violence |
20 | | restraining order enjoining the subject of the petition from |
21 | | having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, |
22 | | possessing, or receiving a firearm or firearm ammunition. A |
23 | | petition for a gun violence restraining order shall describe |
24 | | the number, types, and locations of any firearms and firearm |
25 | | ammunition presently believed by the petitioner to be possessed |
|
| | SB3283 | - 16 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |
|
|
1 | | or controlled by the subject of the petition. Prior to a |
2 | | hearing on the issuance, renewal, or termination of an order |
3 | | under this Section, the court shall ensure that a search of |
4 | | LEADS and other law enforcement databases is conducted of any |
5 | | conviction information of the respondent for a forcible felony; |
6 | | any misdemeanor conviction involving domestic violence, |
7 | | weapons, or other violence; any outstanding warrant; parole, |
8 | | mandatory supervised release, aftercare release, probation, or |
9 | | conditional discharge status; any prior restraining order; and |
10 | | any violation of a prior restraining order. After issuing its |
11 | | ruling, the court shall provide the advisement to the parties |
12 | | that the information obtained from the search conducted under |
13 | | this subsection (b) is confidential and may be released only to |
14 | | the parties and their counsels, and court personnel. The court |
15 | | shall keep information obtained from a search conducted under |
16 | | this subsection (b) confidential in accordance with this |
17 | | subsection (b). The court shall notify the Department of State |
18 | | Police when a gun violence restraining order has been issued or |
19 | | renewed under this Section no later than one court day after |
20 | | issuing or renewing the order. |
21 | | (c) A court may issue a gun violence restraining order if |
22 | | the petition, supported by an affidavit made in writing and |
23 | | signed by the petitioner under oath, or an oral statement, and |
24 | | any additional information provided to the court that shows |
25 | | that there is a substantial likelihood that both of the |
26 | | following are true: |
|
| | SB3283 | - 17 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |
|
|
1 | | (1) the subject of the petition poses a clear and |
2 | | present danger of personal injury to himself, herself, or |
3 | | another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, |
4 | | purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm as |
5 | | determined by considering the factors listed in subsection |
6 | | (f) of this Section; and |
7 | | (2) a gun violence restraining order is necessary to |
8 | | prevent personal injury to the subject of the petition or |
9 | | another because less restrictive alternatives either have |
10 | | been tried and found to be ineffective, or are inadequate |
11 | | or inappropriate for the circumstances of the subject of |
12 | | the petition. |
13 | | (d) An affidavit supporting a petition for the issuance of |
14 | | a gun violence restraining order shall set forth the facts |
15 | | tending to establish the grounds of the petition, or the reason |
16 | | for believing that they exist. |
17 | | (e) If the court determines that the petitioner, |
18 | | respondent, or another person is in imminent danger of death or |
19 | | great bodily harm because of an act of the respondent, the |
20 | | court may issue an ex parte gun violence restraining order |
21 | | without notice and hearing. An ex parte order under this |
22 | | subsection (e) shall be issued or denied on the same day that |
23 | | the petition is submitted to the court, unless the petition is |
24 | | filed too late in the day to permit effective review, in which |
25 | | case the order shall be issued or denied on the next day of |
26 | | judicial business in sufficient time for the order to be filed |
|
| | SB3283 | - 18 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |
|
|
1 | | that day with the clerk of the court. The court, before issuing |
2 | | an ex parte gun violence restraining order, shall examine on |
3 | | oath, the petitioner and any witness the petitioner may |
4 | | produce.
In lieu of examining the petitioner and any witness |
5 | | the petitioner may produce, the court may require the |
6 | | petitioner and any witness to submit a written affidavit signed |
7 | | under oath. |
8 | | (f) In determining whether grounds for a gun violence |
9 | | restraining order exist, the court shall consider all evidence |
10 | | of the following: |
11 | | (1) a recent threat of violence or act of violence by |
12 | | the subject of the petition directed toward another; |
13 | | (2) a recent threat of violence or act of violence by |
14 | | the subject of the petition directed toward himself or |
15 | | herself; |
16 | | (3) a violation of an emergency order of protection |
17 | | issued under Section 112A-17 of the Code of Criminal |
18 | | Procedure of 1963 or under Section 217 of the Illinois |
19 | | Domestic Violence Act of 1986 that is in effect at the time |
20 | | the court is considering the petition; |
21 | | (4) a recent violation of an unexpired order of |
22 | | protection issued under Section 112A-14, 112A-18, or |
23 | | 112A-19 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 or under |
24 | | Section 214, 218, or 219 of the Illinois Domestic Violence |
25 | | Act of 1986, a stalking no contact order issued under |
26 | | Section 80, 95, or 100 of the Stalking No Contact Order |

|
|
1 | | Act, or a civil no contact order issued under Section 213, |
2 | | 214, or 215 of the Civil No Contact Order Act; |
3 | | (5) a conviction for any offense listed in Article 24 |
4 | | of the Criminal Code of 2012; |
5 | | (6) a pattern of violent acts or violent threats within |
6 | | the past 12 months, including, but not limited to, threats |
7 | | of violence or acts of violence by the subject of the |
8 | | petition directed toward himself, herself, or another.
In |
9 | | determining whether grounds for a gun violence restraining |
10 | | order exist, the court may consider any other evidence of |
11 | | an increased risk for violence, including, but not limited |
12 | | to, evidence of any of the following: |
13 | | (i) the unlawful and reckless use, display, or |
14 | | brandishing of a firearm by the subject of the |
15 | | petition; |
16 | | (ii) the history of use, attempted use, or |
17 | | threatened use of physical force by the subject of the |
18 | | petition against another person; |
19 | | (iii) any prior arrest of the subject of the |
20 | | petition for a felony offense; |
21 | | (iv) any history of a violation by the subject of |
22 | | the petition of an emergency
order of protection issued |
23 | | under Section 112A-17 of the Code of Criminal Procedure |
24 | | of 1963 or under Section 217 of the Illinois Domestic |
25 | | Violence Act of 1986 that is in effect at the time the |
26 | | court is considering the petition; |
|
| | SB3283 | - 20 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |
|
|
1 | | (v) any history of a violation by the subject of |
2 | | the petition of a

9 | | of the Civil No Contact Order Act; |
10 | | (vi) documentary evidence, including, but not |
11 | | limited to, police reports and records of convictions, |

20 | | (g) If the court determines that there are grounds to issue |
21 | | an ex parte gun violence restraining order, it shall issue an |
22 | | ex parte gun violence restraining order that prohibits the |
23 | | subject of the petition from having in his or her custody or |
24 | | control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving, or |
25 | | attempting to purchase or receive, a firearm or ammunition, and |
26 | | expires no later than 21 days from the date of the order.
The |

3 | | Identification Card and concealed carry license, if |
4 | | applicable. The respondent's firearms, Firearm Owner's |
5 | | Identification Card and concealed carry license, if applicable |
6 | | shall be returned to the respondent upon expiration of the |
7 | | order. |

22 | | concealed carry license if one has been issued to you |
23 | | in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Firearm Owners |
24 | | Identification Card Act. You may not have in your |
25 | | custody or control, own, purchase, possess, or |
26 | | receive, or attempt to purchase or receive a firearm or |
|
| | SB3283 | - 22 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |

15 | | continue to be true. |
16 | | (o) In determining whether to renew a gun violence |

22 | | and (2) of subsection (c) of this Section are true. |
23 | | (q) If the renewal petition is supported by clear and |

26 | | (r) The renewal of a gun violence restraining order issued |
|
| | SB3283 | - 24 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |

2 | | Sec. 70. Violations. |
3 | | (a) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be |
4 | | revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found to be ineligible |
5 | | for a license under this Act or the licensee no longer meets |
6 | | the eligibility requirements of the Firearm Owners |
7 | | Identification Card Act. |
8 | | (b) A license shall be suspended if an order of protection, |
9 | | including an emergency order of protection, plenary order of |
10 | | protection, or interim order of protection under Article 112A |
11 | | of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 or under the Illinois |
12 | | Domestic Violence Act of 1986, is issued against a licensee for |
13 | | the duration of the order, or if the Department is made aware |
14 | | of a similar order issued against the licensee in any other |
15 | | jurisdiction. If an order of protection is issued against a |
16 | | licensee, the licensee shall surrender the license, as |
17 | | applicable, to the court at the time the order is entered or to |
18 | | the law enforcement agency or entity serving process at the |
19 | | time the licensee is served the order. The court, law |
20 | | enforcement agency, or entity responsible for serving the order |
21 | | of protection shall notify the Department within 7 days and |
22 | | transmit the license to the Department. |
23 | | (c) A license is invalid upon expiration of the license, |
24 | | unless the licensee has submitted an application to renew the |
25 | | license, and the applicant is otherwise eligible to possess a |
|
| | SB3283 | - 26 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |
|
|
1 | | license under this Act. |
2 | | (d) A licensee shall not carry a concealed firearm while |
3 | | under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, |
4 | | intoxicating compound or combination of compounds, or any |
5 | | combination thereof, under the standards set forth in |
6 | | subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. |
7 | | A licensee in violation of this subsection (d) shall be |
8 | | guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first or second violation |
9 | | and a Class 4 felony for a third violation. The Department may |
10 | | suspend a license for up to 6 months for a second violation and |
11 | | shall permanently revoke a license for a third violation. |
12 | | (e) Except as otherwise provided, a licensee in violation |
13 | | of this Act shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. A second |
14 | | or subsequent violation is a Class A misdemeanor. The |
15 | | Department may suspend a license for up to 6 months for a |
16 | | second violation and shall permanently revoke a license for 3 |
17 | | or more violations of Section 65 of this Act. Any person |
18 | | convicted of a violation under this Section shall pay a $150 |
19 | | fee to be deposited into the Mental Health Reporting Fund, plus |
20 | | any applicable court costs or fees. |
21 | | (f) A licensee convicted or found guilty of a violation of |
22 | | this Act who has a valid license and is otherwise eligible to |
23 | | carry a concealed firearm shall only be subject to the |
24 | | penalties under this Section and shall not be subject to the |
25 | | penalties under Section 21-6, paragraph (4), (8), or (10) of |
26 | | subsection (a) of Section 24-1, or subparagraph (A-5) or (B-5) |
|
| | SB3283 | - 27 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |
|
|
1 | | of paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1.6 of the |
2 | | Criminal Code of 2012. Except as otherwise provided in this |
3 | | subsection, nothing in this subsection prohibits the licensee |
4 | | from being subjected to penalties for violations other than |
5 | | those specified in this Act. |
6 | | (g) A licensee whose license is revoked, suspended, or |
7 | | denied shall, within 48 hours of receiving notice of the |
8 | | revocation, suspension, or denial, surrender his or her |
9 | | concealed carry license to the local law enforcement agency |
10 | | where the person resides. The local law enforcement agency |
11 | | shall provide the licensee a receipt and transmit the concealed |
12 | | carry license to the Department of State Police. If the |
13 | | licensee whose concealed carry license has been revoked, |
14 | | suspended, or denied fails to comply with the requirements of |
15 | | this subsection, the law enforcement agency where the person |
16 | | resides may petition the circuit court to issue a warrant to |
17 | | search for and seize the concealed carry license in the |
18 | | possession and under the custody or control of the licensee |
19 | | whose concealed carry license has been revoked, suspended, or |
20 | | denied. The observation of a concealed carry license in the |
21 | | possession of a person whose license has been revoked, |
22 | | suspended, or denied constitutes a sufficient basis for the |
23 | | arrest of that person for violation of this subsection. A |
24 | | violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. |
25 | | (h) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be |
26 | | revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found ineligible for a |
|
| | SB3283 | - 28 - | LRB099 19066 RLC 43455 b |
|
|
1 | | Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the licensee no longer |
2 | | possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. A |
3 | | licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection (h) |
4 | | shall surrender his or her concealed carry license as provided |
5 | | for in subsection (g) of this Section. |
6 | | This subsection shall not apply to a person who has filed |
7 | | an application with the State Police for renewal of a Firearm
|
8 | | Owner's Identification Card and who is not otherwise ineligible |
9 | | to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
|
10 | | (i) A certified firearms instructor who knowingly provides |
11 | | or offers to provide a false certification that an applicant |
12 | | has completed firearms training as required under this Act is |
13 | | guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. A person guilty of a violation |
14 | | of this subsection (i) is not eligible for court supervision. |
15 | | The Department shall permanently revoke the firearms |
16 | | instructor certification of a person convicted under this |
17 | | subsection (i). |
18 | | (j) A person who is subject to a gun violence restraining |
19 | | order shall surrender his or her concealed carry license to the |
20 | | Department of State Police. The person's license shall be |
21 | | suspended during the duration of the order. |
