Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code of 1961.   Provides  that  a  person  is      
   legally  accountable  for the conduct of another person when he or she      
   knowingly sells, gives, or delivers a firearm to  another  person  and      
   that other person uses the firearm in the commission of an offense.         
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          720 ILCS 5/4-9                  from Ch. 38, par. 4-9                
        Deletes  everything  after  the  enacting  clause.   Amends   the      
   Criminal  Code of 1961.  Provides that a person is legally accountable      
   for the conduct of another person  under an absolute liability  theory      
   if:  (1)  he  or  she sells, gives, or transfers a firearm  to another      
   person in violation  of  certain  provisions  of  the  Firearm  Owners      
   Identification  Card Act or certain provisions of the Criminal Code of      
   1961 relating to the unlawful sale of  firearms  and  other  dangerous      
   weapons  and  (2) the person uses the firearm in the commission of any      
   offense within one year from the date of the sale, gift,  or  transfer      
   of the firearm to the other person.                                         
          JUDICIAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Office of Illinois Courts)                    
          It has been determined that HB1789 would neither increase nor        
          decrease the number of judges needed in the State.                   
          CORRECTIONAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Department of Corrections)                
          Fiscal impact and impact on the corrections population would         
          be minimal.                                                          
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (Illinois State Police)                          
          If this legislation were to become law, there would be no            
          fiscal impact to the Illinois State Police.
