Bill Summary
Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Provides that a non-resident may carry a handgun under the Act if the non-resident is 21 years of age or older, has a license or permit in a state where the training requirements are substantially similar under the Act or to non-residents of contiguous states if a reciprocal agreement has been entered into, the license or permit holder is not a resident of Illinois, and the license or permit holder is a legal resident of the United States. Provides that a non-resident is subject to the same laws and restrictions as a license holder under the Act. Provides that if a resident of another state who is permitted to carry under this provision establishes legal residence in this State, the license or permit shall be valid in this State for 90 days following the date on which the holder of the license or permit establishes legal residence in this State. Effective immediately.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to establish reciprocity for non-residents carrying handguns in Illinois. Under the new provisions, a non-resident may carry a concealed handgun in Illinois if they are at least 21 years old, possess a valid concealed carry permit from a state recognized by the Illinois State Police, are not an Illinois resident, and are a legal U.S. resident. The Illinois State Police will recognize permits from states with training requirements substantially similar to Illinois' requirements, and will seek reciprocal agreements with contiguous states like Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Kentucky, provided those states recognize Illinois concealed carry licenses. Non-residents will be subject to the same laws and restrictions as Illinois license holders. Additionally, if a non-resident with a valid out-of-state concealed carry permit establishes legal residence in Illinois, their permit will remain valid for 90 days, which can be demonstrated by registering to vote, obtaining an Illinois driver's license or state ID, or filing for a homestead tax exemption.
