AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1461

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 1461 by replacing line 25 on page 4 and all of page 5 with the following:

"(430 ILCS 65/8.3 new)

Sec. 8.3. Secondary schools and institutions of higher learning may report mentally erratic or violent behavior by students and former students to the local law enforcement agency. Secondary schools and institutions of higher learning that wish to report mentally erratic or violent behavior by students and former students for purposes of revocation of an individual's Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall first report the incidents to the local law enforcement agency of jurisdiction. Upon investigation of the purported incidents of mentally erratic or violent behavior, the local law enforcement agency of jurisdiction may report the information to the Department of State Police. The Department of State Police may use such information to determine whether to deny an application for or to revoke and seize the student or former student's Firearm Owner's Identification Card under paragraph (q) of Section 8 of this Act. If the Department of State Police acts to suspend or revoke the student or former student's Firearm Owner's Identification Card, the local law enforcement agency of jurisdiction for the secondary school or institution of higher learning where the incidents of mentally erratic or violent behavior occurred may seize the student or former student's Firearm Owner's Identification Card and forward it to the Department of State Police. The administration of a secondary school or institution of higher learning that reports mentally erratic or violent behavior to the local law enforcement agency of jurisdiction who subsequently reports to the Department of State Police is presumed to have acted in good faith and is immune from civil or criminal liability for making such report and the consequences of such report.".
