        Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.   Deletes  the      
   in-state  transfer  limitation  or applicability of the provision that      
   prohibits a person  from  knowingly  transferring  or  causing  to  be      
   transferred  a  firearm  or  firearm  ammunition unless the transferee      
   displays a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card to  the      
   transferor.  Effective immediately.                                         
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.

        Further amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.             
   Provides that each applicant for a Firearm Owner's Identification           
   Card who is over the age of 18 shall  furnish  to  the  Department  of      
   State   Police   his  or  her  driver's  license  number  or  Illinois      
   Identification Card number.  Requires a Firearm Owner's Identification      
   Card to contain the applicant's signature.  Also requires the Card  to      
   contain,  if  available, the person's digital photograph and signature      
   from his or her Illinois driver's license or  Illinois  Identification      
   Card.   Deletes  a  provision  giving  the  Director  of  State Police      
   discretion to require  the  Firearm  Owner's  Identification  Card  to      
   contain  additional identifying information.  Directs the Secretary of      
   State to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of adding to  an      
   individual's  driver's  license or Illinois Identification Card a code      
   showing that  the  individual  is  not  disqualified  from  owning  or      
   possessing a firearm. Provides that an appeal by a person who has been      
   denied a Firearm Owner's Identification Card or whose Card has been         
   seized or revoked is to the circuit court and not to the Director of        
   State Police if the revocation or seizure was based on certain              
   specified offenses. Provides that it is a Class 2 felony to knowingly       
   enter false information on an application  for   a   Firearm   Owner's      
   Identification Card, to knowingly give a false answer to a question on      
   the  application,  or to knowingly submit false evidence in connection      
   with an application. Provides that a third  or  subsequent  conviction      
   for  failing  to require the transferee of the firearms to display his      
   or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card to the  transferor  of  the      
   firearms is a Class 1 felony. Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of      
   1963  and  the Unified Code of Corrections.  Provides for the physical      
   surrender of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card as a  condition  of      
   bail  bond by a person charged with certain offenses. Provides for the      
   physical surrender of a  Firearm  Owner's  Identification  Card  if  a      
   person  is convicted of a felony.  Provides for the physical surrender      
   of all firearms by a person convicted of a felony.                          
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
        Changes the warning statement contained in  an  application  form      
   for  a Firearm Owner's Identification Card to reflect a reference to a      
   new penalty provision.                                                      
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.

   provisions  of the bill as amended with the following exceptions:  (1)

   made by electronic means, if and when made available by the Department      
   of State Police; (2) provides that a person convicted of a felony must      
   surrender his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card and  any  and      
   all  firearms  at  a  time  and place designated by the court; and (3)      
   requires on and after December 1, 2002 the use of  a person's  digital      
   photograph  and  signature from the person's Illinois driver's license      
   or Illinois Identification Card,  if  available,  unless  the  digital      
   photograph or signature is the result of or associated with fraudulent      
   or erroneous data. Effective immediately.
