Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 60. Filing of a firearms restraining order issued by another state.

(a) A person who has sought a firearms restraining order  or similar order issued by the court of another state, tribe, or United States territory may file a certified copy of the firearms restraining order  with the clerk of the court in a judicial circuit in which the person believes that enforcement may be necessary.

(b) The clerk shall:

(1) treat the foreign firearms restraining order in

the same manner as a judgment of the circuit court for any county of this State in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, except that the clerk shall not mail notice of the filing of the foreign order to the respondent named in the order; and

(2) on the same day that a foreign firearms

restraining order  is filed, file a certified copy of that order with the sheriff or other law enforcement officials charged with maintaining Illinois State Police records as set forth in Section 55 of this Act.

(c) Neither residence in this State nor filing of a foreign firearms restraining order  shall be required for enforcement of the order by this State. Failure to file the foreign order shall not be an impediment to its treatment in all respects as an Illinois firearms restraining order.

(d) The clerk shall not charge a fee to file a foreign order of protection under this Section.
