Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

The affidavit must also contain the name and Firearm Owner's Identification Card number of each owner, employee, or other agent who sells or conducts transfers of firearms for the certified licensee. If an owner, employee, or other agent of the certified licensee is not otherwise a resident of this State, the certified licensee shall submit an affidavit stating that the owner, employee, or other agent has undergone a background check and is not prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.
    (b) In addition to the affidavit required under subsection (a), within 30 days of a new owner, employee, or other agent beginning selling or conducting transfers of firearms for the certified licensee, the certified licensee shall submit an affidavit to the Illinois State Police stating the date that the new owner, employee, or other agent began selling or conducting transfers of firearms for the certified licensee, and providing the information required in subsection (a) for that new owner, employee, or other agent.
    (c) If a certified licensee has a license, certificate, or permit to sell, lease, transfer, purchase, or possess firearms issued by the federal government or the government of any state revoked or suspended for good cause within the preceding 4 years, the Illinois State Police may consider revoking or suspending the certified licenses in this State. In making a determination of whether or not to revoke or suspend a certified license in this State, the Illinois State Police shall consider the number of retail locations the certified licensee or any related person or entity operates in this State or in other states under the same or different business names, and the severity of the infraction in the state in which a license was revoked or suspended.
    (d) Applications and affidavits required under this Section are not subject to disclosure by the Illinois State Police under the Freedom of Information Act.
