A BILL FOR

AN ACT concerning government.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 5. The Gun Trafficking Information Act is amended by changing Section 10-5 as follows:

(5 ILCS 830/10-5)

Sec. 10-5. Gun trafficking information.

(a) The The Illinois State Police shall use all reasonable efforts in making publicly available, on a regular and ongoing basis, key information related to firearms used in the commission of crimes in this State, including, but not limited to: reports on crimes committed with firearms, locations where the crimes occurred, the number of persons killed or injured in the commission of the crimes, the state where the firearms used originated, the Federal Firearms Licensee that sold the firearm, the type of firearms used, annual statistical information concerning Firearm Owner's Identification Card and concealed carry license applications, revocations, and compliance with Section 9.5 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, firearm restraining order dispositions, and firearm dealer license certification inspections. The Illinois State Police shall make the information available on its website, which may be presented in a dashboard format, in addition to electronically filing a report with the Governor and the General Assembly. The report to the General Assembly shall be filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate in electronic form only, in the manner that the Clerk and the Secretary shall direct.

(b) The Illinois State Police shall study, on a regular and ongoing basis, and compile reports on the number of Firearm Owner's Identification Card checks to determine firearms trafficking or straw purchase patterns. The Illinois State Police shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law, share such reports and underlying data with academic centers, foundations, and law enforcement agencies studying firearms trafficking, provided that personally identifying information is protected. For purposes of this subsection (b), a Firearm Owner's Identification Card number is not personally identifying information, provided that no other personal information of the card holder is attached to the record. The Illinois State Police may create and attach an alternate unique identifying number to each Firearm Owner's Identification Card number, instead of releasing the Firearm Owner's Identification Card number itself.

(c) Each department, office, division, and agency of this State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law, cooperate fully with the Illinois State Police and furnish the Illinois State Police with all relevant information and assistance on a timely basis as is necessary to accomplish the purpose of this Act. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority shall submit the information required in subsection (a) of this Section to the Illinois State Police, and any other information as the Illinois State Police may request, to assist the Illinois State Police in carrying out its duties under this Act.
