Summary
The bill would block anyone whose Illinois Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card was revoked or denied because they were a patient in a mental‑health facility from getting a new FOID after five years unless they first receive a mental‑health assessment by a licensed clinical mental health professional. The evaluator must review all relevant medical records, document their effort to obtain any missing records, and send the evaluation results to the Illinois State Police.
