SB 1996 - Amendment 1. Gun seizure bill and FOID card revocation legislation. This became the Fix the FOID Act in Amendment 1. ILACP does not want local law enforcement to be required to search for and seize a FOID card or guns from a household or person whose FOID card has been suspended or revoked. We consider this a state and Illinois State Police issue. There is still too much uncertainty about how this could be carried out successfully. The Illinois Chiefs are currently in conversation with the Illinois Sheriffs Association and Illinois State Police about how to address this issue legislatively in the fall veto session.
