 1        AN ACT in relation to criminal law.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The  Code  of  Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
 5    amended by adding Section 108-15 as follows:

 6        (725 ILCS 5/108-15 new)
 7        Sec.   108-15.  Issuance    of    a    Firearm    Owner's
 8    Identification  Card  not  sole grounds for a search. A peace
 9    officer may not search a person for the sole reason that  the
10    person  has been issued a Firearm Owner's Identification Card
11    by the Department of State Police. The issuance of a  Firearm
12    Owner's  Identification  Card  does  not  in  and  of  itself
13    constitute  probable  cause  to  search a person and does not
14    constitute a reasonable suspicion that the peace  officer  or
15    another  person is in danger of attack that would justify the
16    peace officer searching the person for weapons under  Section
17    108-1.01.

18        Section  99.  Effective  date. This Act takes effect upon
19    becoming law.
