| 17 | | (a) A petitioner may request a one-year 6-month firearms | 18 | | restraining order by filing an affidavit or verified pleading | 19 | | alleging that the respondent poses a significant danger of | 20 | | causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another in the | 21 | | near future by having in his or her custody or control, | 22 | | purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm, ammunition, | 23 | | and firearm parts that could

| 26 | | (7) A pattern of violent acts or violent threats, |
| | | HB5855 | - 29 - | LRB102 29834 RJT 41951 b |
|
| 1 | | including, but not limited to, threats of violence or acts | 2 | | of violence by the respondent directed toward himself, | 3 | | herself, or another. | 4 | | (f) At the hearing, the petitioner shall have the burden | 5 | | of proving, by clear and convincing evidence, that the | 6 | | respondent poses a significant danger of personal injury to | 7 | | himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or | 8 | | control, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm, | 9 | | ammunition, and firearm parts that could be assembled to make | 10 | | an operable firearm. | 11 | | (g) If the court finds that there is clear and convincing | 12 | | evidence to issue a firearms restraining order, the court | 13 | | shall issue a firearms restraining order that shall be in | 14 | | effect for one year, 6 months subject to renewal under Section | 15 | | 45 of this Act or termination under that Section. | 16 | | (g-5) If the court issues a one-year 6-month firearms | 17 | | restraining order, it shall, upon a finding of probable cause | 18 | | that the respondent possesses firearms, ammunition, and | 19 | | firearm parts that could
be assembled to make an operable | 20 | | firearm, issue a search warrant directing a law enforcement | 21 | | agency to seize the respondent's firearms, ammunition, and | 22 | | firearm parts that could
be assembled to make an operable | 23 | | firearm. The court may, as part of that warrant, direct the law | 24 | | enforcement agency to search the respondent's residence and | 25 | | other places where the court finds there is probable cause to | 26 | | believe he or she is likely to possess the firearms, |

be assembled to make an operable firearm | 12 | | for the duration of the order under Section 8.2 of the | 13 | | Firearm Owners Identification Card Act; and | 14 | | (2) the respondent to comply with Section 9.5 of the | 15 | | Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and subsection (g) | 16 | | of Section 70 of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. | 17 | | (i) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (i-5) of | 18 | | this Section, upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, if | 19 | | the firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts that could
be | 20 | | assembled to make an operable firearm or Firearm Owner's | 21 | | Identification Card cannot be returned to the respondent | 22 | | because the respondent cannot be located, fails to respond to | 23 | | requests to retrieve the firearms, ammunition, and firearm | 24 | | parts that could
be assembled to make an operable firearm, or | 25 | | is not lawfully eligible to possess a firearm, ammunition, and | 26 | | firearm parts that could

be assembled to make | 6 | | an operable firearm for training purposes, or use the | 7 | | firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts that could
be | 8 | | assembled to make an operable firearm for any other | 9 | | application as deemed appropriate by the local law enforcement | 10 | | agency. | 11 | | (i-5) A respondent whose Firearm Owner's Identification | 12 | | Card has been revoked or suspended may petition the court, if | 13 | | the petitioner is present in court or has notice of the | 14 | | respondent's petition, to transfer the respondent's firearm, | 15 | | ammunition, and firearm parts that could
be assembled to make | 16 | | an operable firearm to a person who is lawfully able to possess | 17 | | the firearm, ammunition, and firearm parts that could
be | 18 | | assembled to make an operable firearm if the person does not | 19 | | reside at the same address as the respondent. Notice of the | 20 | | petition shall be served upon the person protected by the | 21 | | emergency firearms restraining order. While the order is in | 22 | | effect, the transferee who receives the respondent's firearms, | 23 | | ammunition, and firearm parts that could be assembled to make | 24 | | an operable firearm must swear or affirm by affidavit that he | 25 | | or she shall not transfer the firearm, ammunition, and firearm | 26 | | parts that could

| 1 | | the respondent or to anyone residing in the same residence as | 2 | | the respondent. | 3 | | (i-6) If a person other than the respondent claims title | 4 | | to any firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts that could
be | 5 | | assembled to make an operable firearm surrendered under this | 6 | | Section, he or she may petition the court, if the petitioner is | 7 | | present in court or has notice of the petition, to have the | 8 | | firearm, ammunition, and firearm parts that could be assembled | 9 | | to make an operable firearm returned to him or her. If the | 10 | | court determines that person to be the lawful owner of the | 11 | | firearm, ammunition, and firearm parts that could be assembled | 12 | | to make an operable firearm, the firearm, ammunition, and | 13 | | firearm parts that could
be assembled to make an operable | 14 | | firearm shall be returned to him or her, provided that: | 15 | | (1) the firearm,
ammunition, and firearm parts that | 16 | | could be assembled to make
an operable firearm are removed | 17 | | from the respondent's custody, control, or possession and | 18 | | the lawful owner agrees to store the firearm, ammunition, | 19 | | and firearm parts that could
be assembled to make an | 20 | | operable firearm in a manner such that the respondent does | 21 | | not have access to or control of the firearm, ammunition, | 22 | | and firearm parts that could
be assembled to make an | 23 | | operable firearm; and | 24 | | (2) the firearm,
ammunition, and firearm parts that | 25 | | could be assembled to make
