2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

4 Section 5. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is
5 amended by changing Section 13.1 as follows:
6 (430 ILCS 65/13.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-13.1)
7 Sec. 13.1. Local regulation.
8 (a) The provisions of any ordinance enacted by any
9 municipality which requires registration or imposes greater

14 (b) A unit of local government, including a home rule
15 unit, may not regulate the acquisition, possession,
16 transportation, storage, purchase, selling, or otherwise
17 dealing in rifles and shotguns and may not regulate

26 either directly or indirectly by any unit of local
27 government, including home rule units. This subsection (b) is
