Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that a person who is not a federally licensed firearm dealer and who desires to purchase a firearm while that person is on the grounds of a gun show must, before obtaining that firearm, request the Department of State Police to conduct a background check to verify the validity of his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card. Provides that if the receipt of a firearm does not violate federal or State law, the Department of State Police shall (1) assign a unique number to the transfer; (2) provide the licensee with the number; if the background check is being conducted at a gun show, the State Police shall provide that unique number to the person and that person shall use it for any purchases made at the gun show; and (3) destroy all records of the system with respect to the call or request, other than the identifying number and the date the number was assigned, and all records of the system relating to the person or the transfer within 24 hours. Provides that the Department of State Police may not retain, copy, or distribute any such information previously collected. Provides that if the transfer of a firearm is denied by the Department of State Police, the Department may keep the records of a denial until the denial is appealed and overturned, or as long as necessary for a criminal prosecution. Provides that approvals issued by the Department of State Police for the purchase of a firearm from a federal firearms licensee are valid for 30 days from the date of issue. Provides that approvals issued by the Department of State Police for the purchase of a firearm from a non-licensed individual at a gun show shall be good for that calendar day. Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that the waiting period for obtaining a firearm after its purchase does not apply to the sale of a firearm at a gun show. Effective immediately.
