Here's a recap as of 2/5/2014:
HB4233 deletes language from concealed carry laws that prohibit carrying on public transportation
HB4234 deletes language from concealed carry law that prohibits carrying in any building that has been issued a special event retailers license (liquor)
HB3646 - eliminates "50% of revenue" clause for liquor sales, would prohibit carrying guns ANYWHERE alcohol is sold, period. (Including most gas stations...)
HB3649 - reduces licensing fees of concealed carry from $150 to 100, other cost changes.
HB3650 - establishes concealed carry reciprocity rules, "shall reciprocate" language, provisions for residents moving to IL to honor their CCW for 90 days, etc.
HB3651 - reduces concealed carry training requirements from 16 hours to 8 hours.
HB3669 - increases first time offense of carrying in to a school zone a felony (including colleges and universities, AND including parking areas thereof)
HB3675 - STRONGLY increases penalties for carrying a gun in to a gun free zone.
HB3714 - Establishes state wide 2% tax surcharge on ammunition
HB3725 - exempts federal firearms dealers from concealed carry training requirements
HB3762 - reduces age of obtaining Firearm Owners ID card from 21, to 18 (consent of guardian age change)
SB2594 - same as HB 3646
SB2646 - institutes mandatory $100,000 liability insurance for ALL gun owners (with FOID). Provisions to seize or revoke FOID card and firearms if liability insurance isn't maintained.
SB2652 - repeals gun free zone on "Special Events" (concerts, etc)
SB2653 - repeals gun free zones on public gatherings (carnivals, parades, community festivals, etc)
SB2654 - repeals gun free zones for hospitals, doctors offices, nursing homes, etc.
SB2669 - effectively prohibits carrying firearms on ALL private property unless you have permission from owner IN ADVANCE.
SB2646 would give authority to the state police to deny or revoke a FOID if the holder does not have at least $10,000 insurance that covers negligent acts
SB2669 would make it illegal to carry a firearm onto private property without prior permission from the owner
SB2653 would remove language about prohibited places (for carrying) in any public gathering or special event on public property
SB2654 would remove language about prohibited places striking 'Any building, real property, and parking area under the control of a public or private hospital or hospital affiliate, mental health facility, or nursing home.'
SB2652 would remove language about prohibited places 'Any building or real property that has been issued a Special Event Retailer's license as defined in Section 1-3.17.1 of the Liquor Control Act during the time designated for the sale of alcohol by the Special Event Retailer's license, or a Special use permit license as defined in subsection (q) of Section 5-1 of the Liquor Control Act during the time designated for the sale of alcohol by the Special use permit license.'
Illinois HB4319 would add more prohibited places for carrying a firearm including bars, licensed video gaming, licensed fraternal, licensed veterans & licensed truck stop establishments
Illinois HB4290 - A certified firearms instructor who provides or offers to provide false certification that an applicant has completed firearms training is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor, not eligible for court supervision, and permanent revocation of the firearms instructor certification.
SB2686 Provides that in cases when the holder of a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card applies for renewal in accordance with the Act and the Department of State Police fails either to approve or deny the renewal of the card within 30 days... shall toll the expiration date of the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card until the Department of State Police has renewed or denied renewal of the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card or until 180 days after the expiration of the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card, whichever is sooner.
Illinois HB4319 - adds multiple prohibited places to concealed carry; establishments licensed under the Video Gaming Act where alcoholic liquor is drawn, poured, mixed, or otherwise served for consumption on the premises; licensed fraternal establishment, licensed veterans establishment, or licensed truck stop establishment, as defined and licensed under the Video Gaming Act, and alcoholic liquor is not drawn, poured, mixed, or otherwise served for consumption on the premises. Finally, also provides that any person (rather than the owner) lawfully in possession and control of private real property of any type may prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms on the property (deletes under his or her control).
Illinois HB4376 adds language to existing law regarding the transportation of firearms in a vehicle
(Somewhat misleading on Illinois HB4376; it does "add" language to the law regarding transportation of a firearm in Aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and Unlawful use of a weapon, but the net effect is that it removes certain requirements to transportation.
Currently, people must transport a firearm broken down in a non-functional state, or unloaded and enclosed in a case, shipping container, or other container. This bill would strike the "broken down" and the "in the case..." portion for long guns. So the rifle, shotgun, "or other long gun" just has to be unloaded. Handguns are unaffected.)
SB2786 - Provides that it is unlawful for any person to possess a suppressor for any firearm that has had its serial number removed or altered. Provides that a violation is a Class 3 felony. Effective immediately. (Makes suppressors "double special illegal in certain cases...)
SB2806 - Exempts certain licensed security people from Unlawful Use of Weapons. (Background; this is introduced again by Munoz for unknown reasons; it's been a "way around" the concealed carry prohibition by Chicago politicians for awhile, to allow them to carry a firearm when most people couldn't; remember the senator arrested at the airport?)
HB4507 - Provides that the Department of State Police may not retain, copy, or distribute any information previously collected under the provisions concerning the transfer of firearms, stun guns, and tasers. Provides that the Department shall destroy all records of the dial up telephone system with respect to the call, other than the identifying number and the date the number was assigned, and all records of the system relating to the person or the transfer, within 31 days after the call.
(Trailer bill for the new FOID transfer TCN requirement there)
HB4517 Provides that a concealed carry licensee under the Act shall not knowingly carry a firearm on or into any building, real property, and parking area under the control of a restaurant. Defines "restaurant" (highly restrictive, could be used to cover any building with a cooking area, including most workplaces!)
SB2969 - Amends IL concealed carry so that it doesn't diminish or restricts carrying under other acts (e.g. law enforcement retired, security guards, etc)
SB2970 - adds "regulation" definition to FOID act (presumably for pre-emptive language elsewhere?)
SB2994 - Provides that if grants are available to the Department of State Police for this purpose, the Department shall develop and maintain a website and database containing certain information about firearm discharge incidents in public places derived from local incident reports submitted by the law enforcement agency to the Department of State Police on a secure website such as LEADS.
HB4574 - 5 year suspension of Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a person who has been convicted of a third violation of the provision of the Criminal Code of 2012 that makes it an offense for a person who possesses or acquires a firearm and thereafter loses the firearm, or if the firearm is stolen from the person, to fail to report the loss or theft to the local law enforcement agency within 72 hours after obtaining knowledge of the loss or theft.
HB4619 - Provides that a non-resident applicant for a new license or renewal shall submit $150 (rather than $300) with the application, of which $120 (rather than $250) shall be apportioned to the State Police Firearm Services Fund, $20 (rather than $40) shall be apportioned to the Mental Health Reporting Fund, and $10 shall be apportioned to the State Crime Laboratory Fund
HB4620 - Provides that a licensee who presents his or her license to a law enforcement officer who initiates an investigative stop, or a non-resident who presents evidence under the Act that he or she is a non-resident qualified to carry to the officer, shall be deemed to have disclosed that he or she is carrying a concealed firearm as required under the Act.
