| Public Act 097-1135 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning regulation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is | ||||
amended by changing Section 3 as follows: | ||||
(430 ILCS 65/3) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-3) | ||||
Sec. 3. (a) Except as provided in Section 3a, no person may | ||||
knowingly
transfer, or cause to be transferred, any firearm, | ||||
firearm ammunition, stun gun, or taser to any person within | ||||
this State unless the
transferee with whom he deals displays a | ||||
currently valid Firearm Owner's
Identification Card which has | ||||
previously been issued in his name by the
Department of State | ||||
Police under the provisions of this Act. In addition,
all | ||||
firearm, stun gun, and taser transfers by federally licensed | ||||
firearm dealers are subject
to Section 3.1. | ||||
(a-5) Any person who is not a federally licensed firearm | ||||
dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm while that | ||||
person is on the grounds of a gun show must, before selling or | ||||
transferring the firearm, request the Department of State | ||||
Police to conduct a background check on the prospective | ||||
recipient of the firearm in accordance with Section 3.1.
| ||||
(b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes to | ||||
be
transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a | ||||
record of such transfer for a period
of 10 years from the date | ||
of transfer. Such record shall contain the date
of the | ||
transfer; the description, serial number or other information
| ||
identifying the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number | ||
is available; and, if the
transfer was completed within this | ||
State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's
Identification Card | ||
number. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall contain | ||
the date of application for transfer of the firearm. On demand | ||
of a peace officer such transferor
shall produce for inspection | ||
such record of transfer. If the transfer or sale took place at | ||
a gun show, the record shall include the unique identification | ||
number. Failure to record the unique identification number is a | ||
petty offense.
| ||
(b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person | ||
within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States | ||
mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law | ||
to ship ammunition. Any resident purchasing ammunition within | ||
or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a | ||
copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||
and either his or her Illinois driver's license or Illinois | ||
State Identification Card prior to the shipment of the | ||
ammunition. The ammunition may be shipped only to an address on | ||
either of those 2 documents. | ||
(c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer | ||
of firearm
ammunition shall not apply to those persons | ||
specified in paragraph (b) of
Section 2 of this Act. | ||
