Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Lethal Violence Order of Protection Act. Provides that a petitioner may request an emergency lethal violence order of protection by filing an affidavit or verified pleading alleging that the respondent poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Provides that the petition shall also describe the type, and location of any firearms presently believed by the petitioner to be possessed or controlled by the respondent. Provides that the petitioner may be a family member of the respondent or a law enforcement officer, who files a petition alleging that the respondent poses a danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Establishes factors that the court must consider before issuing a lethal violence order of protection. Provides for the issuance of ex parte orders and one-year orders. Provides that if the court issues the order the respondent must: (1) refrain from having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving additional firearms for the duration of the order; and (2) turn over to the local law enforcement agency any firearm, Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or concealed carry license in his or her possession. Establishes factors for renewing and terminating lethal violence orders of protection. Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to make conforming changes.

 Fiscal Note (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
 This legislation would have no fiscal impact on the State appropriation to the judicial branch. It is not possible to determine what fiscal impact, if any, the bill would have on local judicial budgets.

 Fiscal Note (Illinois State Police)
 The fiscal impact of this legislation is difficult to determine. Depending on the volume of Lethal Violence Orders of Protection additional Firearms Eligibility Analysts (FEAs) may be needed to process these orders and deny/revoke Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) Cards and concealed carry licenses. The Illinois State Police currently processes approximately 930 FOID card revocations per month. The average cost for an FEA is $101,598 annually. Additionally, any identified need for FEAs will require an increase to the Department's authorized headcount.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
 This legislation does not create a State mandate.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
430 ILCS 65/8.3 new

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Firearms Restraining Order Act. Provides that a petitioner may request an emergency firearms restraining order by filing an affidavit or verified pleading alleging that the respondent poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Provides that the petition shall also describe the type and location of any firearms presently believed by the petitioner to be possessed or controlled by the respondent. Provides that the petitioner may be a family member of the respondent or a law enforcement officer, who files a petition alleging that the respondent poses a danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Establishes factors that the court must consider before issuing a firearms restraining order. Provides for the issuance of ex parte orders and 6-month orders. Provides that if the court issues the order, the respondent must: (1) refrain from having in his or her custody or control, purchasing, possessing, or receiving additional firearms for the duration of the order; and (2) turn over to the local law enforcement agency any firearm, Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or concealed carry license in his or her possession. Provides that a respondent whose Firearm Owner's Identification Card has been revoked may petition the court to transfer the respondent's firearm to a person who is lawfully able to possess the firearm if the person does not reside at the same address as the respondent. Provides that notice of the petition shall be served upon the person protected by the firearms restraining order. Provides that if a person other than the respondent claims title to any firearms surrendered under this provision, he or she may petition the court, if the petitioner is present in court or has notice of the petition, to have the firearm returned to him or her. Provides that if the court determines that person to be the lawful owner of the firearm, the firearm shall be returned to him or her, provided that: (1) the firearm is removed from the respondent's custody, control, or possession and the lawful owner agrees to store the firearm in a manner such that the respondent does not have access to or control of the firearm; and (2) the firearm is not otherwise unlawfully possessed by the owner. Provides that the person petitioning for the return of his or her firearm must swear or affirm by affidavit that he or she: (1) is the lawful owner of the firearm; (2) shall not transfer the firearm to the respondent; and (3) will store the firearm in a manner that the respondent does not have access to or control of the firearm. Establishes factors for renewing and terminating firearms restraining orders. Provides that if the court denies issuance of a firearms restraining order against the respondent, all records of the proceeding shall be immediately expunged from the court records. Provides that if the firearms restraining order is granted, all records of the proceeding shall, 3 years after the expiration of the order, be sealed. Provides that any act of omission or commission by any law enforcement officer acting in good faith in rendering emergency assistance or otherwise enforcing this Act shall not impose civil liability upon the law enforcement officer or his or her supervisor or employer, unless the act is a result of willful or wanton misconduct. Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to make conforming changes.
