Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that the prohibition on issuance of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card and the grounds for revocation of such Card for being a patient in a mental institution within the past 5 years or for being adjudicated as a mental defective do not apply to an active law enforcement officer employed by a unit of local government. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that an active law enforcement officer employed by a unit of local government is not disqualified from obtaining or retaining a Firearm Owner's Identification Card if the officer has been an inpatient in a mental institution for not more than 30 days.

House Floor Amendment No. 3
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that an active law enforcement officer employed by a unit of local government may not be denied a Firearm Owner's Identification Card and his or her Card may not be revoked and seized, if he or she has been a patient in a mental institution within the past 5 years, so long as the officer has not been involuntarily admitted as an inpatient in a mental institution or has not been an inpatient in a mental institution for more than 30 days. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with changes. Provides that an active law enforcement officer employed by a unit of local government may not be denied a Firearm Owner's Identification Card and his or her Card may not be revoked and seized, if he or she has been a patient in a mental institution within the past 5 years, as a result of work in law enforcement, where a referral is made by the employing unit of local government or voluntarily sought for evaluation, and treatment is provided by a clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, or qualified examiner (as defined in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code), so long as the officer has not been involuntarily admitted as an inpatient in a mental institution or has not been an inpatient in a mental institution for more than 30 days. Effective immediately.

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Proposes to eliminate provisions of the bill that permit an active law enforcement officer employed by a unit of local government to be eligible for and to retain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card if the officer has been a patient in a mental institution and as a result of work in law enforcement, is referred by the employing unit of local government for, or voluntarily seeks, evaluation by a clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, or qualified examiner, and receives care from a clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, or qualified examiner, so long as the officer has not been involuntarily admitted as an inpatient in a mental institution or has not been an inpatient in a mental institution for more than 30 days. Proposes that an active law enforcement officer employed by a unit of government which requires possession of a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card as a condition for employment who is covered by this provision but was not acting in a manner which was threatening to the officer, another person, or the public as determined by the treating clinical psychologist or physician, and as a result of their work is referred by the employer for or voluntarily seeks alcohol or mental health treatment may obtain relief from the Director of State Police. Proposes that nothing in the provisions that deny eligibility for or permit revocation and seizure of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a person who has been a patient in a mental institution within the past 5 years shall be interpreted to independently require or permit a unit of government, which requires the possession of a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card as a condition of employment, to terminate, suspend, or place on leave without pay an officer from the time of denial, revocation, or seizure and while the officer's request for relief is pending. Proposes that an active law enforcement officer employed by a unit of government, which requires the possession of a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card as a condition for employment, who is covered by this provision but was not acting in a manner which was threatening to the officer, another person, or the public as determined by the treating clinical psychologist or physician, and as a result of the officer's work is referred by the employer for or voluntarily seeks: (1) alcohol abuse or dependence or alcohol-related depressive disorder evaluation or treatment by a licensed clinical psychologist, or physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches; or (2) mental health evaluation or treatment, other than that for alcohol abuse or dependence or alcohol-related depressive disorder, by a licensed clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, or qualified examiner, may obtain relief from the prohibition so long as the person has not received treatment involuntarily at a mental institution, regardless of length of admission, or has not been voluntarily admitted to a mental institution for more than 30 days and not for more than one incident within the past 5 years, and has not left such mental institution against medical advice. Proposes conditions under which the Director of the Department of State Police shall grant expedited relief. Proposes that officers eligible for the expedited relief process are responsible for providing proof of eligibility and all information required and will not be considered for expedited relief until such proof and information is received by the Director. Proposes to change the effective date of the bill to January 1, 2013.
