Bill > HB2389

This bill amends the Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) Card Act to modify the validity period for FOID cards issued to individuals under 21 years old. Currently, FOID cards are valid for 10 years for all cardholders. Under the new legislation, FOID cards issued to individuals under 21 will expire either on the cardholder's 21st birthday or 10 years from the date of issuance, whichever occurs earlier. Once the cardholder turns 21, subsequent FOID cards will be valid for the standard 10-year period. The bill ensures that young gun owners have their identification cards reassessed upon reaching the age of 21, potentially allowing for a more thorough review of their eligibility to maintain a FOID card. This change aims to add an additional layer of age-based review for firearm ownership identification in Illinois, potentially enhancing safety measures for younger gun owners.
