Short description: 
FIREARM OWNR ID-CRIMNAL HISTRY                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.  Requires  the      
   Department   of   State   Police  to  check  criminal  history  record      
   information every six months of every person who  has  been  issued  a      
   Firearm  Owner's  Identification Card (FOID Card) to determine if that      
   person has been convicted of any offenses that would disqualify him or      
   her from holding  a  FOID  Card.   Requires  the  Department,  if  the      
   criminal   history  record  information  reveals  a  conviction  of  a      
   disqualifying offense, to revoke that person's FOID  Card.   Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Further amends  the  Firearm  Owner's  Identification  Card  Act.      
   Provides  that the Department of State Police shall conduct background      
   checks on every person to whom a FOID Card is issued as determined  by      
   the   Director,  but  not  less  than  every  six  months.  Deletes  a      
   requirement that the Department conduct background checks through  the      
   National  Crime  Information  Center,  and provides, instead, that the      
   Department  shall  pursue  the  feasibility  of   conducting   ongoing      
   background  checks  via the National Instant Criminal Background Check      
   System.   Deletes  the  immediate  effective  date,  and  provides  an      
   effective date of January 1, 2002.                                          
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Adds reference to:

        Further  amends  the  Firearm  Owners  Identification  Card  Act.      
   Provides that the Department of State Police must report the name  and      
   address  of  a  person  to  the local law enforcement agency where the      
   person resides if the person  attempting  to  purchase  a  firearm  is      
   disqualified from purchasing a firearm because of information obtained      
   during  the  dial-up  telephone  communication  with the Department of      
   State Police.                                                               
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
         Provides that a disqualification from purchasing a firearm shall      
   not be reported to the local law enforcement agency if  the  basis  of      
   the   disqualification   is   that   the   person's   Firearm  Owner's      
   Identification  Card  has  expired  or  been  cancelled   unless   the      
   Department  of  State  Police  deems  that  reporting the basis of the      
   disqualification is appropriate.
