| 11 | | similar offense in another jurisdiction committed before, |
| 12 | | on or after January 1, 2012 (the effective date of Public |
| 13 | | Act 97-158). If the applicant or person who has been |
| 14 | | previously issued a Firearm Owner's Identification Card |
| 15 | | under this Act knowingly and intelligently waives the |
| 16 | | right to have an offense described in this paragraph (l) |
| 17 | | tried by a jury, and by guilty plea or otherwise, results |
| 18 | | in a conviction for an offense in which a domestic |
| 19 | | relationship is not a required element of the offense but |
| 20 | | in which a determination of the applicability of 18 U.S.C. |
| 21 | | 922(g)(9) is made under Section 112A-11.1 of the Code of |
| 22 | | Criminal Procedure of 1963, an entry by the court of a |
| 23 | | judgment of conviction for that offense shall be grounds |
| 24 | | for denying an application for and for revoking and |
| 25 | | seizing a Firearm Owner's Identification Card previously |
| 26 | | issued to the person under this Act; |

|
| | HB5053 | - 17 - | LRB104 20591 BDA 34081 b |
|
|
| 1 | | subsection (e) of this Section, shall not be permitted to |
| 2 | | obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card, after the |
| 3 | | 5-year period has lapsed, unless he or she has received a |
| 4 | | mental health evaluation by a licensed clinical mental |
| 5 | | health professional physician, clinical psychologist, |
| 6 | | advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or qualified examiner |
| 7 | | as those terms are defined in the Mental Health and |
| 8 | | Developmental Disabilities Code, and has received a |
| 9 | | certification that he or she is not a clear and present |

| 13 | | licensed clinical mental health professional making the |
| 14 | | certification, and the person shall attest, by signature, |

|
|
| 1 | | all reasonable attempts to obtain collateral records, and, |
| 2 | | if no collateral records are obtained, the licensed |
| 3 | | clinical mental health professional must document the |
| 4 | | efforts used to obtain the collateral records. The |
| 5 | | licensed clinical mental health professional physician, |
| 6 | | clinical psychologist, advanced practice psychiatric |
| 7 | | nurse, or qualified examiner making the certification and |
| 8 | | his or her employer shall not be held criminally, civilly, |
| 9 | | or professionally liable for making or not making the |
| 10 | | certification required under this subsection, except for |
| 11 | | willful or wanton misconduct. This subsection does not |
| 12 | | apply to a person whose firearm possession rights have |
| 13 | | been restored through administrative or judicial action |
| 14 | | under Section 10 or 11 of this Act. The results of all |
| 15 | | mental health evaluations that are performed under this |
| 16 | | subsection (u) on or after the effective date of this |
| 17 | | amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly shall be |
| 18 | | transmitted to the Illinois State Police. A licensed |
| 19 | | clinical mental health professional who complies with the |
| 20 | | requirements of this subsection and documents reasonable |
| 21 | | attempts to obtain collateral records shall not be subject |
| 22 | | to professional discipline, civil liability, or criminal |
| 23 | | liability based on: (1) the person's failure to disclose |
| 24 | | all treatment history; (2) the existence of collateral |
| 25 | | records that were not identified by the person and not |
| 26 | | discovered through the licensed clinical mental health |
|
| | HB5053 | - 19 - | LRB104 20591 BDA 34081 b |
|
|
| 1 | | professional's documented reasonable attempts; or (3) the |
| 2 | | licensed clinical mental health professional's |
| 3 | | determination that was made in good faith based on |
| 4 | | information available at the time of the evaluation, even |
| 5 | | if additional records are later discovered. This liability |
| 6 | | protection shall not apply in cases of willful or wanton |
| 7 | | misconduct. ; or |
| 8 | | (v) A person who fails 2 or more times to report a loss |
| 9 | | or theft of a firearm within 48 hours of the discovery of |
| 10 | | such loss or theft to local law enforcement as required |
| 11 | | under subsection (a) of Section 24-4.1 of the Criminal |
| 12 | | Code of 2012. |
| 13 | | Upon revocation of a person's Firearm Owner's |
| 14 | | Identification Card, the Illinois State Police shall provide |
| 15 | | notice to the person and the person shall comply with Section |
