Sec. 3.1. Dial up system.

(a) The Department of State Police shall provide a dial up

telephone system or utilize other existing technology which

shall be used by any federally licensed firearm dealer, gun

show promoter, or gun show vendor who is to transfer a firearm,

stun gun, or taser under the provisions of this Act. The

Department of State Police may utilize existing technology

which allows the caller to be charged a fee not to exceed $2.

Fees collected by the Department of State Police shall be

deposited in the State Police Services Fund and used to provide

the service.

(b) Upon receiving a request from a federally licensed

firearm dealer, gun show promoter, or gun show vendor, the

Department of State Police shall immediately approve, or within

the time period established by Section 24-3 of the Criminal

Code of 2012 regarding the delivery of firearms, stun guns, and

tasers notify the inquiring dealer, gun show promoter, or gun

show vendor of any objection that would disqualify the

transferee from acquiring or possessing a firearm, stun gun, or

taser. In conducting the inquiry, the Department of State

Police shall initiate and complete an automated search of its

criminal history record information files and those of the

Federal Bureau of Investigation, including the National

Instant Criminal Background Check System, and of the files of

the Department of Human Services relating to mental health and

developmental disabilities to obtain any felony conviction or

patient hospitalization information which would disqualify a

person from obtaining or require revocation of a currently

valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card.

(c) If receipt of a firearm would not violate Section 24-3

of the Criminal Code of 2012, federal law, or this Act the

Department of State Police shall:

(1) assign a unique identification number to the

transfer; and

(2) provide the licensee, gun show promoter, or gun

show vendor with the number.

(d) Approvals issued by the Department of State Police for

the purchase of a firearm are valid for 30 days from the date

of issue.

(e) (1) The Department of State Police must act as the

Illinois Point of Contact for the National Instant Criminal

Background Check System.

(2) The Department of State Police and the Department of

Human Services shall, in accordance with State and federal law

regarding confidentiality, enter into a memorandum of

understanding with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the

purpose of implementing the National Instant Criminal

Background Check System in the State. The Department of State

Police shall report the name, date of birth, and physical

description of any person prohibited from possessing a firearm

pursuant to the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act or 18

U.S.C. 922(g) and (n) to the National Instant Criminal

Background Check System Index, Denied Persons Files.

(3) The Department of State Police shall provide notice of

the disqualification of a person under subsection (b) of this

Section or the revocation of a person's Firearm Owner's

Identification Card under Section 8 or Section 8.2 of this Act,

and the reason for the disqualification or revocation, to all

law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction to assist with the

seizure of the person's Firearm Owner's Identification Card.

(f) The Department of State Police shall adopt rules not

inconsistent with this Section to implement this system.
