New in Illinois; yet more ways to screw with us. Read HB4715. It's a doozy.
HB4682 - Removes DOT "rest areas" from prohibited places for CCL.
HB4686 - Adds damage award if a home rule unit violates the preemption clause for businesses by foring them to ban concealed carry in their establishments, beyond what state law calls for.
HB4712 - Adds " accessories, components, attachments, or parts" to pre-emption language, preventing cities from passing ordinances prohibiting people from carrying certain components of handguns (high capacity magazines, extra magazines, speedloaders, flashlight attachments, etc).
HB4715 - oh my. I'm priting the entire preamble:
Creates the Firearms Registration Act. Provides that every person in the State must register each firearm he or she owns or possesses in accordance with the Act. Provides that a person shall not purchase or possess ammunition within this State without having first obtained a registration certificate identifying a firearm that is suitable for use with that ammunition, or a receipt demonstrating that the person has applied to register a suitable firearm under the Act and that the application is pending. Provides that the Department of State Police must complete a background check of any person who applies for: (1) a registration certificate for a firearm that was lawfully owned or possessed on the effective date of the Act, was brought into the State by a new resident, or was acquired by operation of law upon the death of the former owner; or (2) a renewal of a registration certificate unless, within 12 months of the date the renewal application is submitted, the applicant passed a background check conducted by the Department in connection with the applicant's acquisition of another firearm. Provides exceptions. Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that it is a Class 2 felony to sell or transfer ownership of a firearm to another person without complying with the registration requirement of the Firearms Registration Act.
HB4722 - Deletes provision prohibiting a licensee from knowingly carrying a firearm into a public park.
HB4753 - Provides for the regulation of handgun dealers through licensure by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.

HB4754 - Creates the offense of unlawful use of a three-dimensional printer to create a firearm.

HB4779 - (reverses posting requirements) Provides that a person shall not carry a concealed firearm onto private real property of any type without prior permission from the property owner.
