5 | amended by changing Section 5 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||||

7 | Sec. 5. Application and renewal. | |||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) The Illinois State Police shall either approve or deny | |||||||||||||||||||||
9 | all applications within 30 days from the date they are | |||||||||||||||||||||
10 | received, except as provided in subsections (b) and (c), and | |||||||||||||||||||||
11 | every applicant found qualified under Section 8 of this Act by | |||||||||||||||||||||
12 | the Illinois State Police shall be entitled to a Firearm | |||||||||||||||||||||
13 | Owner's Identification Card upon the payment of a $10 fee and | |||||||||||||||||||||
14 | applicable processing fees. The processing fees shall be | |||||||||||||||||||||
15 | limited to charges by the State Treasurer for using the | |||||||||||||||||||||
16 | electronic online payment system. Any applicant who is an | |||||||||||||||||||||
17 | active duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States, a | |||||||||||||||||||||
18 | member of the Illinois National Guard, or a member of the | |||||||||||||||||||||
19 | Reserve Forces of the United States is exempt from the | |||||||||||||||||||||
20 | application fee. $5 of each fee derived from the issuance of a | |||||||||||||||||||||
21 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card or renewals thereof shall | |||||||||||||||||||||
22 | be deposited in the State Police Firearm Services Fund and $5 | |||||||||||||||||||||
23 | into the State Police Revocation Enforcement Fund. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) Renewal applications shall be approved or denied | ||||||
2 | within 60 business days, provided the applicant submitted his | ||||||
3 | or her renewal application prior to the expiration of his or | ||||||
4 | her Firearm Owner's Identification Card. If a renewal | ||||||
5 | application has been submitted prior to the expiration date of | ||||||
6 | the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card, the | ||||||
7 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall remain valid while | ||||||
8 | the Illinois State Police processes the application, unless | ||||||
9 | the person is subject to or becomes subject to revocation | ||||||
10 | under this Act. The cost for a renewal application shall be $10 | ||||||
11 | and may include applicable processing fees, which shall be | ||||||
12 | limited to charges by the State Treasurer for using the | ||||||
13 | electronic online payment system, which shall be deposited | ||||||
14 | into the State Police Firearm Services Fund. | ||||||
15 | (c) If the Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a | ||||||
16 | licensee under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act expires during | ||||||
17 | the term of the licensee's concealed carry license, the | ||||||
18 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card and the license remain | ||||||
19 | valid and the licensee does not have to renew his or her | ||||||
20 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card during the duration of the | ||||||
21 | concealed carry license. Unless the Illinois State Police has | ||||||
22 | reason to believe the licensee is no longer eligible for the | ||||||
23 | card, the Illinois State Police may automatically renew the | ||||||
24 | licensee's Firearm Owner's Identification Card and send a | ||||||
25 | renewed Firearm Owner's Identification Card to the licensee. | ||||||
26 | (d) The Illinois State Police may adopt rules concerning |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the use of voluntarily submitted fingerprints, as allowed by | ||||||
2 | State and federal law. | ||||||
3 | (e) A renewed Firearm Owner's Identification Card issued | ||||||
4 | under this Act shall be valid for the person to whom it is | ||||||
5 | issued for a period of 10 years from the date of expiration on | ||||||
6 | the previously issued card. | ||||||
