Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 2580

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Gun Violence Restraining Order Act. Provides for entry of an emergency gun violence restraining order upon complaint filed by a State's Attorney, assistant State's Attorney, law enforcement officer, or an immediate family member supported by evidence submitted under oath or affirmation subject to the penalties for perjury and stating facts sufficient to show probable cause to believe that: (1) the identified person poses an imminent danger of causing death or serious bodily injury to himself, herself, or any other person; (2) the person possesses or has ready access to one or more firearms; and (3) less restrictive alternatives either have been tried and found to be ineffective or would be inadequate or inappropriate under the circumstances after a hearing is held. Repeals the Firearm Seizure Act. Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and Firearm Concealed Carry Act to make conforming changes. Amends the Counties Code concerning sales taxes to be used for school resource officers and mental health professionals and a referendum for that purpose. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that a person commits the offense of unlawful sale or delivery of firearms when he or she knowingly delivers any firearm, incidental to a sale, without withholding delivery of the firearm for at least 72 hours after application for its purchase has been made (current law permits delivery of a rifle, shotgun or other long gun, or a stun gun or taser after 24 hours after application for its purchase has been made). Reinstates the death penalty if at the time of the commission of then offense the person was 18 years of age or older and the person caused the death of 2 or more human beings without lawful justification or the victim was a peace officer killed in the course of performing his or her official duties, either to prevent the performance of the officer's duties or in retaliation for the performance of the officer's duties, and the person knew that the victim was a peace officer. Amends the Unified Code of Corrections to make conforming changes. Makes other changes, including creating the Gun Crime Charging and Sentencing Accountability and Transparency Act. Effective immediately.
