Bill Summary
Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that a federally licensed firearm dealer shall, upon the sale or transfer of a firearm to a person whom the dealer reasonably believes to be a first-time purchaser or transferee of a firearm, provide the purchaser or transferee of the firearm with printed or digital information about firearm safety courses available locally or electronically and the safe storage of firearms.

AI Summary
This bill amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act to require federally licensed firearm dealers to provide safety information to first-time firearm purchasers or transferees. Specifically, when a dealer sells or transfers a firearm to someone they reasonably believe is purchasing or receiving a firearm for the first time, they must provide printed or digital information about local or electronic firearm safety courses and safe firearm storage methods. The bill builds upon existing regulations that govern firearm transfers in Illinois, which include requirements for background checks, maintaining transfer records, and ensuring that transferees have a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card (FOID) or concealed carry license. The new provision aims to enhance firearm safety by ensuring that new firearm owners receive basic safety guidance at the point of purchase, potentially helping to reduce accidents and improve responsible gun ownership.
