Bill > HB1767

This bill amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) Act to require that each FOID card have its issuance date and expiration date boldly and conspicuously displayed on the face of the card. The bill modifies an existing section of law that describes the contents of a FOID card, which is a mandatory identification card for firearm owners in Illinois issued by the Illinois State Police. Currently, the card already contains information such as the applicant's name, residence, date of birth, sex, physical description, and a recent photograph. The new requirement will make it easier for law enforcement and others to quickly verify the current status and validity of a FOID card by prominently showing when the card was issued and when it expires. This change aims to improve the card's utility as a clear, easily understood form of identification for firearm owners in the state.
