Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill changes Illinois’ Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) rules so that anyone whose FOID was revoked or denied because they were a mental‑health facility patient must receive a mental‑health assessment by a licensed clinical mental health professional before applying for a new card after five years. The applicant must provide all relevant medical records, the evaluator must certify the person is not a clear and present danger, and the results are sent to the Illinois State Police.
