House Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
720 ILCS 535/Act title
720 ILCS 535/0.01 from Ch. 38, par. 82
720 ILCS 535/1 from Ch. 38, par. 82-1

720 ILCS 535/7 from Ch. 38, par. 82-7
720 ILCS 535/8 from Ch. 38, par. 82-8

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Air Rifle Act. Prohibits the sale, lending, rental, giving or otherwise transferring of an air rifle to any person under the age of 18 (rather than under 13) years. Prohibits a person under 18 years of age (rather than under 13 years) from carrying an air rifle on the public streets, roads, highways or public lands within the State. Eliminates the provision that permits a person under the specified age to carry an unloaded air rifle.
