Illinois HB3570 amends the Firearms Restraining Order Act to enhance procedures for issuing and enforcing firearms restraining orders.
HB3570 amends the Firearms Restraining Order Act to require courts to provide simplified forms and assistance for filing petitions. It mandates that the clerk immediately notify the State's Attorney upon filing each firearms restraining order, allowing the State's Attorney to represent petitioners. The bill changes references from "intimate partner" to "specific places" and requires law enforcement to file a return of the search warrant within four days. It also allows for the transfer of firearms to a lawful possessor if the respondent cannot be located or is ineligible to possess firearms.
