Bill > HB4168

This bill amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and the Firearm Concealed Carry Act in Illinois. The key provisions are: 1. On and after the effective date of the bill, each applicant for the issuance or renewal of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card must provide a full set of their fingerprints in electronic format to the Department of State Police, unless they have previously provided fingerprints under this Act or the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. The fingerprints will be checked against state and federal criminal history record databases. 2. The bill removes the option for an applicant for a concealed carry license to submit an application without providing a set of fingerprints. Instead, a full set of fingerprints must be submitted with the application. 3. The bill makes other conforming changes to the application process for Firearm Owner's Identification Cards and concealed carry licenses.
