Short description: 
FIREARMS OWNERS ID CARD ACT                                                

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.  Provides that      
   a Firearm Owner's Identification Card (FOID Card) may not be issued to      
   a person who, in this  or  any  other  jurisdiction,  is  on  bond  or      
   awaiting   a   preliminary  hearing,  trial,  or  sentencing  for  the      
   commission of a felony, domestic battery, or a violation of Article 24      
   of  the  Criminal  Code  of  1961  or  a  violation  of  this  Act  or      
   substantially similar  laws  of  another  jurisdiction  pertaining  to      
   firearms.   Provides  that  an  applicant  for  a  FOID  Card  must be      
   fingerprinted and photographed by a law enforcement  agency  and  must      
   also  complete  a basic firearms safety test.  Provides conditions for      
   the issuance of a FOID Card to minors.  Provides that every  applicant      
   for  a  FOID Card must provide a password or other private information      
   to be used by a firearms dealer to verify the  identity  of  a  person      
   seeking  to acquire a firearm.  Increases the fee for a FOID Card from      
   $5 to $25.  Provides that a FOID Card is valid for 8 years (instead of      
   5).  Makes other changes.                                                   
          FISCAL NOTE (Illinois State Police)                                  
          If this bill would become law, there would be a fiscal impact        
          to the Illinois State Police of $4,676,000 for implementation        
          and $2,476,000 annually thereafter.
