Provides that the Illinois State Police shall recognize a concealed carry permit or license issued to a person age 21 years of age or older: (i) by a state whose requirements to obtain a permit or license are substantially similar to the training requirements under the Act or (ii) by any contiguous state with which Illinois has entered into a reciprocal agreement.

AI Summary
This bill amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to establish reciprocity for out-of-state concealed carry permits in Illinois. Specifically, the bill allows nonresidents aged 21 or older to carry a concealed handgun in Illinois if they possess a valid concealed carry permit from another state that is recognized by the Illinois State Police. Recognition will be granted to permits from states with training requirements similar to Illinois' or from contiguous states (Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, or Kentucky) that have a reciprocal agreement with Illinois. The bill ensures that nonresidents are subject to the same laws and restrictions as Illinois license holders. Additionally, if a nonresident with a recognized out-of-state permit establishes legal residence in Illinois, their permit will remain valid for 90 days, with legal residence defined by actions such as registering to vote, obtaining an Illinois driver's license, or filing for a homestead tax exemption. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for out-of-state residents carrying concealed firearms while maintaining similar safety standards.
