| |||||||
| 1 | AN ACT concerning regulation.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is | ||||||
| 5 | amended by changing Section 3 as follows: | ||||||
| 6 | (430 ILCS 65/3) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-3) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 3. (a) Except as provided in Section 3a, no person may | ||||||
| 8 | knowingly
transfer, or cause to be transferred, any firearm, | ||||||
| 9 | firearm ammunition, stun gun, or taser to any person within | ||||||
| 10 | this State unless the
transferee with whom he deals displays a | ||||||
| 11 | currently valid Firearm Owner's
Identification Card which has | ||||||
| 12 | previously been issued in his name by the
Department of State | ||||||
| 13 | Police under the provisions of this Act. In addition,
all | ||||||
| 14 | firearm, stun gun, and taser transfers by federally licensed | ||||||
| 15 | firearm dealers are subject
to Section 3.1. | ||||||
| 16 | (a-5) Any person who is not a federally licensed firearm | ||||||
| 17 | dealer and who desires to transfer or sell a firearm while that | ||||||
| 18 | person is on the grounds of a gun show must, before selling or | ||||||
| 19 | transferring the firearm, request the Department of State | ||||||
| 20 | Police to conduct a background check on the prospective | ||||||
| 21 | recipient of the firearm in accordance with Section 3.1.
| ||||||
| 22 | (b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes to | ||||||
| 23 | be
transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | record of such transfer for a period
of 10 years from the date | ||||||
| 2 | of transfer. Such record shall contain the date
of the | ||||||
| 3 | transfer; the description, serial number or other information
| ||||||
| 4 | identifying the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number | ||||||
| 5 | is available; and, if the
transfer was completed within this | ||||||
| 6 | State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's
Identification Card | ||||||
| 7 | number. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall contain | ||||||
| 8 | the date of application for transfer of the firearm. On demand | ||||||
| 9 | of a peace officer such transferor
shall produce for inspection | ||||||
| 10 | such record of transfer. If the transfer or sale took place at | ||||||
| 11 | a gun show, the record shall include the unique identification | ||||||
| 12 | number. Failure to record the unique identification number is a | ||||||
| 13 | petty offense.
| ||||||
| 14 | (b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person | ||||||
| 15 | within or outside of Illinois if shipment is by United States | ||||||
| 16 | mail or by a private express carrier authorized by federal law | ||||||
| 17 | to ship ammunition. Any resident purchasing ammunition within | ||||||
| 18 | or outside the State of Illinois must provide the seller with a | ||||||
| 19 | copy of his or her valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card | ||||||
| 20 | and either his or her Illinois driver's license or Illinois | ||||||
| 21 | State Identification Card prior to the shipment of the | ||||||
| 22 | ammunition. The ammunition may be shipped only to an address on | ||||||
| 23 | either of those 2 documents. | ||||||
| 24 | (c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer | ||||||
| 25 | of firearm
ammunition shall not apply to those persons | ||||||
| 26 | specified in paragraph (b) of
Section 2 of this Act. | ||||||
