State of Illinois
2023 and 2024 SB3737 Introduced 2/9/2024, by Sen. Ram Villivalam SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED: | | | Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that the Internet-based system for determining the validity of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall include a written notice, in both English and Spanish, of a firearm owner's obligation to report to local law enforcement any lost or stolen firearm within 48 hours after the owner first discovers the loss or theft. Provides that within one year after the effective date of the amendatory Act, the Illinois State Police shall create an electronic portal into which law enforcement and prosecutors shall report individuals who have failed to report the loss or theft of a firearm. Provides that upon the issuance and each renewal of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card, the Illinois State Police shall advise the applicant or holder in writing, in both English and Spanish, of his or her obligation to report to local law enforcement any lost or stolen firearm within 48 hours after he or she first discovers the loss or theft. Provides that the Illinois State Police has authority to deny an application for or to revoke and seize a Firearm Owner's Identification Card previously issued under the Act if a card holder fails to report a loss or theft of a firearm within 48 hours of the discovery of such loss or theft to local law enforcement. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that if a person who possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card and who possesses or acquires a firearm thereafter loses the firearm, or if the firearm is stolen from the person, the person must report the loss or theft of any such firearm to the local law enforcement agency within 48 (rather than 72) hours after obtaining knowledge of the loss or theft. Increases the penalty for failure to report a lost or stolen firearm to the local law enforcement agency from a petty offense to a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense and from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class 4 felony for a second or subsequent offense. Changes the elements of the offenses of firearms trafficking, possession of a stolen firearm, and aggravated possession of a stolen firearm. Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act and the Firearm Dealer License Certification Act to make conforming changes. |

| | | SB3737 | - 5 - | LRB103 35672 RLC 68750 b |
|
| 1 | | rules not inconsistent with this Section to implement this | 2 | | system; but no rule shall allow the Illinois State Police to | 3 | | retain records in contravention of State and federal law. The | 4 | | Internet-based system shall include a written notice, in both | 5 | | English and Spanish, of a firearm owner's obligation to report | 6 | | to local law enforcement any lost or stolen firearm within 48 | 7 | | hours after the owner first discovers the loss or theft. | 8 | | (a-25) On or before January 1, 2022, the Illinois State | 9 | | Police shall develop an Internet-based system upon which the | 10 | | serial numbers of firearms that have been reported stolen are | 11 | | available for public access for individuals to ensure any | 12 | | firearms are not reported stolen prior to the sale or transfer | 13 | | of a firearm under this Section. The Illinois State Police | 14 | | shall have the Internet-based system completed and available | 15 | | for use by July 1, 2022. The Illinois State Police shall adopt | 16 | | rules not inconsistent with this Section to implement this | 17 | | system. | 18 | | (a-30) Within one year after the effective date of this | 19 | | amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly, the Illinois | 20 | | State Police shall create an electronic portal into which law | 21 | | enforcement and prosecutors shall report individuals who have | 22 | | failed to report the loss or theft of a firearm pursuant to | 23 | | Section 24-4.1 of the Criminal Code of 2012. | 24 | | (b) Any person within this State who transfers or causes | 25 | | to be transferred any firearm, stun gun, or taser shall keep a | 26 | | record of such transfer for a period of 10 years from the date |
| | | SB3737 | - 6 - | LRB103 35672 RLC 68750 b |
|
| 1 | | of transfer. Any person within this State who receives any | 2 | | firearm, stun gun, or taser pursuant to subsection (a-10) | 3 | | shall provide a record of the transfer within 10 days of the | 4 | | transfer to a federally licensed firearm dealer and shall not | 5 | | be required to maintain a transfer record. The federally | 6 | | licensed firearm dealer shall maintain the transfer record for | 7 | | 20 years from the date of receipt. A federally licensed | 8 | | firearm dealer may charge a fee not to exceed $25 to retain the | 9 | | record. The record shall be provided and maintained in either | 10 | | an electronic or paper format. The federally licensed firearm | 11 | | dealer shall not be liable for the accuracy of any information | 12 | | in the transfer record submitted pursuant to this Section. | 13 | | Such records shall contain the date of the transfer; the | 14 | | description, serial number or other information identifying | 15 | | the firearm, stun gun, or taser if no serial number is | 16 | | available; and, if the transfer was completed within this | 17 | | State, the transferee's Firearm Owner's Identification Card | 18 | | number and any approval number or documentation provided by | 19 | | the Illinois State Police pursuant to subsection (a-10) of | 20 | | this Section; if the transfer was not completed within this | 21 | | State, the record shall contain the name and address of the | 22 | | transferee. On or after January 1, 2006, the record shall | 23 | | contain the date of application for transfer of the firearm. | 24 | | On demand of a peace officer such transferor shall produce for | 25 | | inspection such record of transfer. For any transfer pursuant | 26 | | to subsection (a-10) of this Section, on the demand of a peace |
| | | SB3737 | - 7 - | LRB103 35672 RLC 68750 b |
|
| 1 | | officer, such transferee shall identify the federally licensed | 2 | | firearm dealer maintaining the transfer record. If the | 3 | | transfer or sale took place at a gun show, the record shall | 4 | | include the unique identification number. Failure to record | 5 | | the unique identification number or approval number is a petty | 6 | | offense. For transfers of a firearm, stun gun, or taser made on | 7 | | or after January 18, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act | 8 | | 100-1178), failure by the private seller to maintain the | 9 | | transfer records in accordance with this Section, or failure | 10 | | by a transferee pursuant to subsection a-10 of this Section to | 11 | | identify the federally licensed firearm dealer maintaining the | 12 | | transfer record, is a Class A misdemeanor for the first | 13 | | offense and a Class 4 felony for a second or subsequent offense | 14 | | occurring within 10 years of the first offense and the second | 15 | | offense was committed after conviction of the first offense. | 16 | | Whenever any person who has not previously been convicted of | 17 | | any violation of subsection (a-5), the court may grant | 18 | | supervision pursuant to and consistent with the limitations of | 19 | | Section 5-6-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections. A transferee | 20 | | or transferor shall not be criminally liable under this | 21 | | Section provided that he or she provides the Illinois State | 22 | | Police with the transfer records in accordance with procedures | 23 | | established by the Illinois State Police. The Illinois State | 24 | | Police shall establish, by rule, a standard form on its | 25 | | website. | 26 | | (b-5) Any resident may purchase ammunition from a person |
