AI Summary
This bill amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) Act to require all applicants for a new or renewed FOID card to provide fingerprints to the Illinois State Police, whereas previously this was only optional and set to begin in January 2023. The bill mandates that applicants submit their fingerprints electronically through a licensed live scan fingerprint vendor, with a maximum fee of $30 per set of fingerprints. If an applicant fails to submit the required fingerprints, the Illinois State Police will deny their application. The bill also updates the processing fees for FOID cards, increasing the initial application fee from $10 to $20, with $10 going to the State Police Firearm Services Fund and $10 to the State Police Firearm Enforcement Fund. Additionally, the bill removes a previous requirement for the Illinois State Police to research and report on voluntarily submitted fingerprints. These changes are designed to enhance background checking procedures for firearm ownership and improve the state's ability to screen potential FOID card holders.
