AN ACT to amend the Firearm Owners Identification Card
Act by changing Section 3.1.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is
amended by changing Section 3.1 as follows:
(430 ILCS 65/3.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-3.1)
Sec. 3.1. Dial up system. The Department of State Police
shall provide a dial up telephone system which shall be used
by any federally licensed firearm dealer who is to transfer a
firearm under the provisions of this Act. The Department of
State Police shall utilize existing technology which allows
the caller to be charged a fee equivalent to the cost of
providing this service but not to exceed $2. Fees collected
by the Department of State Police shall be deposited in the
State Police Services Fund and used to provide the service.
Upon receiving a request from a federally licensed
firearm dealer, the Department of State Police shall
immediately approve, or within the time period established by
Section 24-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 regarding the
delivery of firearms, notify the inquiring dealer of any
objection that would disqualify the transferee from acquiring
or possessing a firearm. In conducting the inquiry, the
Department of State Police shall initiate and complete an
automated search of its criminal history record information
files and those of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
including the National Instant Criminal Background Check
System, and of the files of the Department of Human Services
relating to mental health and developmental disabilities to
obtain any felony conviction or patient hospitalization
information which would disqualify a person from obtaining or
require revocation of a currently valid Firearm Owner's
Identification Card.
The Department of State Police must act as the Illinois
Point of Contact for the National Instant Criminal Background
Check System.
The Department of State Police shall promulgate rules to
implement this system.
