|
| 6 | | (5 ILCS 830/10-5)
|
| 7 | | Sec. 10-5. Gun trafficking information.
|
| 8 | | (a) The The Department of State Police shall use all |
| 9 | | reasonable efforts in making publicly available, on a regular |
| 10 | | and ongoing
basis, key information related to firearms used in |
| 11 | | the
commission of crimes in this State, including, but not |
| 12 | | limited
to: reports on crimes committed with firearms, |
| 13 | | locations where
the crimes occurred, the number of persons |
| 14 | | killed or injured in
the commission of the crimes, the state |
| 15 | | where the firearms used
originated, the Federal Firearms |
| 16 | | Licensee that sold the firearm, and the type of firearms used. |
| 17 | | The Department
shall make the information available on its
|
| 18 | | website, in addition to electronically filing a report with the
|
| 19 | | Governor and the General Assembly. The report to the General
|
| 20 | | Assembly shall be filed with the Clerk of the House of
|
| 21 | | Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate in electronic
|
| 22 | | form only, in the manner that the Clerk and the Secretary shall

|
|
| | SB2642 | - 2 - | LRB101 16991 RJF 66391 b |
|
|
| 1 | | (b) The Department shall study, on a regular and ongoing |
| 2 | | basis, and compile reports on the number of Firearm Owner's |
| 3 | | Identification Card checks to determine firearms trafficking |
| 4 | | or straw purchase patterns. The Department shall, to the extent |
| 5 | | not inconsistent with law, share such reports and underlying |
| 6 | | data with academic centers, foundations, and law enforcement |
| 7 | | agencies studying firearms trafficking, provided that |
| 8 | | personally identifying information is protected. For purposes |
| 9 | | of this subsection (b), a Firearm Owner's Identification Card |
| 10 | | number is not personally identifying information, provided |
| 11 | | that no other personal information of the card holder is |
| 12 | | attached to the record. The Department may create and attach an |
| 13 | | alternate unique identifying number to each Firearm Owner's |
| 14 | | Identification Card number, instead of releasing the Firearm |
| 15 | | Owner's Identification Card number itself. |
| 16 | | (c) Each department, office, division, and agency of this
|
| 17 | | State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law, cooperate
|
| 18 | | fully with the Department and furnish the
Department with all |
| 19 | | relevant information and assistance on a
timely basis as is |
| 20 | | necessary to accomplish the purpose of this
Act. The Illinois |
| 21 | | Criminal Justice Information Authority shall submit the |
| 22 | | information required in subsection (a) of this Section to the |
| 23 | | Department of State Police, and any other information as the |
| 24 | | Department may request, to assist the Department in carrying |
| 25 | | out its duties under this Act.
