        In the Solicitation for Charity Act and the Charitable Trust Act,      
   provides for the forfeiture of assets  of  a  charity  if  the  person      
   knowingly  uses  the  charitable  assets in furtherance of a terrorist      
   act. Provides that there must be a showing of  probable  cause  rather      
   than a reasonable suspicion of a violation of terrorism offenses or of      
   the  Solicitation  for  Charity Act or the Charitable Trust Act before      
   the Attorney General may seize assets of the  charity.  Provides  that      
   there  must  be  a  finding  of a violation by a court after a hearing      
   before the charity may be permanently enjoined from soliciting  funds.      
   In  the  new  Article of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to the new      
   terrorism offenses, provides that an investigation  for  violation  of

        Provides that in an asset freeze or forfeiture hearing, the court      
   may  order  the  assets  released   to   pay   attorney's   fees   for      
   representation of the defendant in the hearing.                             
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 6.                                                
        Provides that the State's Attorney must approve  the  use  of  an      
   eavesdropping  device  (rather than just be notified of the use of the      
   device) to record or listen to a conversation in an investigation of a      
   terrorist offense when a law enforcement officer is  a  party  to  the      
   conversation  and consents to being intercepted or recorded.  Provides      
   that an application for an order approving the previous or  continuing      
   use  of  an  eavesdropping  device must be made within 48 hours of the      
   commencement of the use.                                                    
        GOVERNOR'S AMENDATORY VETO MESSAGE

          Adds reference to:

          735 ILCS 5/8-802                                                     
        Recommends that the Firearm Owner's Identification Card Act be         
   further amended to provide that a person applying for a Firearm             
   Owner's Identification Card must submit evidence to the Department of       
   State Police that he or she is not an alien who has been admitted to        
   the United States under a non-immigrant visa, or that he or she is an       
   alien who meets certain requirements. Eliminates a provision that a         
   person who commits first degree murder in connection with or as a           
   result of the offense of terrorism, is eligible for the death               
   penalty. Provides that an in rem proceeding for the forfeiture of           
   seized money or other things of value in connection with a violation        
   of the new terrorism provisions must be commenced within 60 days if         
   the seizure or asset freeze is not followed by a criminal charge.           
   Establishes conditions under which an innocent owner or interest            
   holder in seized assets may assert that the assets are exempt from          
   forfeiture. Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that a             
   health care practitioner may disclose information that the health           
   care practitioner acquired during the rending of professional services      
   in criminal actions arising from the rendering of a report of a             
   suspected terrorist offense. Makes other changes.
