If an order of protection is issued against a | 21 | | licensee, the licensee shall surrender the license, as | 22 | | applicable, to the court at the time the order is entered or to | 23 | | the law enforcement agency or entity serving process at the |
| | | HB3675 | - 2 - | LRB098 13726 RLC 48253 b |
|
| 1 | | time the licensee is served the order. The court, law | 2 | | enforcement agency, or entity responsible for serving the order | 3 | | of protection shall notify the Department within 7 days and | 4 | | transmit the license to the Department. | 5 | | (c) A license is invalid upon expiration of the license, | 6 | | unless the licensee has submitted an application to renew the | 7 | | license, and the applicant is otherwise eligible to possess a | 8 | | license under this Act. | 9 | | (d) A licensee shall not carry a concealed firearm while | 10 | | under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, | 11 | | intoxicating compound or combination of compounds, or any | 12 | | combination thereof, under the standards set forth in | 13 | | subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. | 14 | | A licensee in violation of this subsection (d) shall be | 15 | | guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first or second violation | 16 | | and a Class 4 felony for a third violation. The Department may | 17 | | suspend a license for up to 6 months for a second violation and | 18 | | shall permanently revoke a license for a third violation. | 19 | | (e) Except as otherwise provided, a licensee in violation | 20 | | of this Act shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. A second | 21 | | or subsequent violation is a Class A misdemeanor. The | 22 | | Department may suspend a license for up to 6 months for a | 23 | | second violation and shall permanently revoke a license for 3 | 24 | | or more violations of Section 65 of this Act. Any person | 25 | | convicted of a violation under this Section , other than a | 26 | | violation of Section 65 of this Act, shall pay a $150 fee to be |
| | | HB3675 | - 3 - | LRB098 13726 RLC 48253 b |
|
| 1 | | deposited into the Mental Health Reporting Fund, plus any | 2 | | applicable court costs or fees. Any person convicted of a | 3 | | violation of Section 65 of this Act shall pay a $500 fee to be | 4 | | deposited into the Mental Health Reporting Fund, plus any | 5 | | applicable court costs or fees. | 6 | | (f) A licensee convicted or found guilty of a violation of | 7 | | this Act who has a valid license and is otherwise eligible to | 8 | | carry a concealed firearm shall only be subject to the | 9 | | penalties under this Section and shall not be subject to the | 10 | | penalties under Section 21-6, paragraph (4), (8), or (10) of | 11 | | subsection (a) of Section 24-1, or subparagraph (A-5) or (B-5) | 12 | | of paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1.6 of the | 13 | | Criminal Code of 2012. Except as otherwise provided in this | 14 | | subsection, nothing in this subsection prohibits the licensee | 15 | | from being subjected to penalties for violations other than | 16 | | those specified in this Act. | 17 | | (g) A licensee whose license is revoked, suspended, or | 18 | | denied shall, within 48 hours of receiving notice of the | 19 | | revocation, suspension, or denial surrender his or her | 20 | | concealed carry license to the local law enforcement agency | 21 | | where the person resides. The local law enforcement agency | 22 | | shall provide the licensee a receipt and transmit the concealed | 23 | | carry license to the Department of State Police. If the | 24 | | licensee whose concealed carry license has been revoked, | 25 | | suspended, or denied fails to comply with the requirements of | 26 | | this subsection, the law enforcement agency where the person |
| | | HB3675 | - 4 - | LRB098 13726 RLC 48253 b |

The observation of a concealed carry license in the | 6 | | possession of a person whose license has been revoked, | 7 | | suspended, or denied constitutes a sufficient basis for the | 8 | | arrest of that person for violation of this subsection. A | 9 | | violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. | 10 | | (h) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be | 11 | | revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found ineligible for a | 12 | | Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the licensee no longer | 13 | | possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. A | 14 | | licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection (h) | 15 | | shall surrender his or her concealed carry license as provided | 16 | | for in subsection (g) of this Section. | 17 | | This subsection shall not apply to a person who has filed | 18 | | an application with the State Police for renewal of a Firearm
| 19 | | Owner's Identification Card and who is not otherwise ineligible | 20 | | to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
