What this bill does

Provides that the Illinois State Police shall not deny an application for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card or revoke a Firearm Owner's Identification Card on the basis of: (1) any conviction, adjudication, or delinquency finding that has been vacated, reversed, or set aside by a court; or (2) any record that has been expunged, sealed, or otherwise ordered removed under the Criminal Identification Act or Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Provides that the Illinois State Police shall eliminate from all internal databases any of these records within 45 days after receipt of the court order. Provides that use of any such record in connection with a Firearm Owner's Identification Card determination is prohibited. Provides that when a circuit court issues a final order directing the Illinois State Police to issue or reinstate a Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a person whose application for a card has been denied or whose card has been revoked, the Illinois State Police shall comply with the order and issue the card within 30 days after receipt of the order, unless the Illinois State Police files a petition for review in the Appellate Court within that 30-day period. Provides that if the Illinois State Police fails to comply with that provision, the person's application for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall be automatically granted by the Illinois State Police by operation of law or the person's Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall be automatically restored by operation of law on the 31st day after receipt of the order.
