SB1209 amends Illinois firearm and ammunition transfer laws, removing certain restrictions and updating record-keeping requirements.
SB1209 amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act in Illinois by eliminating the requirement for individuals to possess a Firearm Owner's Identification Card to acquire or possess firearm ammunition. It also removes the need for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card for certain firearm transfers, including those made by non-licensed individuals to family members, during hunting activities, and at gun shows. The bill mandates that the Illinois State Police develop an internet-based system for verifying the validity of Firearm Owner's Identification Cards before firearm transfers.
