| 1 | | AN ACT concerning regulation.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is | 5 | | amended by changing Section 3 as follows: | 6 | | (430 ILCS 65/3) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-3) | 7 | | Sec. 3. (a) Except as provided in Section 3a, no person may | 8 | | knowingly
transfer, or cause to be transferred, any firearm, | 9 | | firearm ammunition, stun gun, or taser to any person within | 10 | | this State unless the
transferee with whom he deals displays a | 11 | | currently valid Firearm Owner's
Identification Card which has | 12 | | previously been issued in his name by the
Department of State | 13 | | Police under the provisions of this Act. In addition,
all | 14 | | firearm, stun gun, and taser transfers by federally licensed | 15 | | firearm dealers are subject
to Section 3.1. | 16 | | (a-5) Any person who is not a federally licensed firearm | 17 | | dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm while that | 18 | | person is on the grounds of a gun show must, before selling or | 19 | | transferring the firearm, request the Department of State | 20 | | Police to conduct a background check on the prospective | 21 | | recipient of the firearm in accordance with Section 3.1.
| 22 | | (b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes to | 23 | | be
transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a |

|
| 1 | | record of such transfer for a period
of 10 years from the date | 2 | | of transfer. Such record shall contain the date
of the | 3 | | transfer; the description, serial number or other information
| 4 | | identifying the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number | 5 | | is available; and, if the
transfer was completed within this | 6 | | State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's
Identification Card | 7 | | number. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall contain | 8 | | the date of application for transfer of the firearm. On demand | 9 | | of a peace officer such transferor
shall produce for inspection | 10 | | such record of transfer. If the transfer or sale took place at | 11 | | a gun show, the record shall include the unique identification | 12 | | number. Failure to record the unique identification number is a | 13 | | petty offense.
| 14 | | (b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person | 15 | | within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States | 16 | | mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law | 17 | | to ship ammunition . Any resident purchasing ammunition within | 18 | | or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a | 19 | | copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card | 20 | | and either his or her Illinois driver's license or Illinois | 21 | | State Identification Card prior to the shipment of the | 22 | | ammunition. The ammunition may be shipped only to an address on | 23 | | either of those 2 documents. | 24 | | (c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer | 25 | | of firearm
ammunition shall not apply to those persons | 26 | | specified in paragraph (b) of
Section 2 of this Act. |
