| |||||||||||||||||||
10 | basis, key information related to firearms used in the
| |||||||||||||||||||
11 | commission of crimes in this State, including, but not limited
| |||||||||||||||||||
12 | to: reports on crimes committed with firearms, locations where
| |||||||||||||||||||
13 | the crimes occurred, the number of persons killed or injured | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | in
the commission of the crimes, the state where the firearms | |||||||||||||||||||
15 | used
originated, the Federal Firearms Licensee that sold the | |||||||||||||||||||
16 | firearm, the type of firearms used, annual statistical | |||||||||||||||||||
17 | information concerning Firearm Owner's Identification Card and | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | concealed carry license applications, revocations, and | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | compliance with Section 9.5 of the Firearm Owners | |||||||||||||||||||
20 | Identification Card Act, firearm restraining order | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | dispositions, and firearm dealer license certification | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | inspections. The Illinois State Police
shall make the | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | information available on its
website, which may be presented |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in a dashboard format, in addition to electronically filing a | ||||||
2 | report with the
Governor and the General Assembly. The report | ||||||
3 | to the General
Assembly shall be filed with the Clerk of the | ||||||
4 | House of
Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate in | ||||||
5 | electronic
form only, in the manner that the Clerk and the | ||||||
6 | Secretary shall
direct.
| ||||||
7 | (b) The Illinois State Police shall study, on a regular | ||||||
8 | and ongoing basis, and compile reports on the number of | ||||||
9 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card checks to determine | ||||||
10 | firearms trafficking or straw purchase patterns. The Illinois | ||||||
11 | State Police shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law, | ||||||
12 | share such reports and underlying data with academic centers, | ||||||
13 | foundations, and law enforcement agencies studying firearms | ||||||
14 | trafficking, provided that personally identifying information | ||||||
15 | is protected. For purposes of this subsection (b), a Firearm | ||||||
16 | Owner's Identification Card number is not personally | ||||||
17 | identifying information, provided that no other personal | ||||||
18 | information of the card holder is attached to the record. The | ||||||
19 | Illinois State Police may create and attach an alternate | ||||||
20 | unique identifying number to each Firearm Owner's | ||||||
21 | Identification Card number, instead of releasing the Firearm | ||||||
22 | Owner's Identification Card number itself. | ||||||
23 | (c) Each department, office, division, and agency of this
| ||||||
24 | State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law, | ||||||
25 | cooperate
fully with the Illinois State Police and furnish the
| ||||||
26 | Illinois State Police with all relevant information and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assistance on a
timely basis as is necessary to accomplish the | ||||||
2 | purpose of this
Act. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information | ||||||
3 | Authority shall submit the information required in subsection | ||||||
4 | (a) of this Section to the Illinois State Police, and any other | ||||||
5 | information as the Illinois State Police may request, to | ||||||
6 | assist the Illinois State Police in carrying out its duties | ||||||
7 | under this Act.
