Requires that no later than January 1, 2026, the Firearm Owner's
Identification Card Review Board must establish a process by which any
person who is subject to the provisions of the Act can request expedited
review from the Board. Requires that the Illinois State Police must
provide the Board or any court with jurisdiction all records relevant to
the request for relief. Allows the Illinois State Police and the
individual seeking expedited relief to seek judicial review upon receipt
of a final administrative decision under the Act. Provides that the Board,
Illinois State Police, or employees and agents of the Board and Illinois
State Police participating in the process under the Act may not be held
liable for damages in any civil action arising from the alleged wrongful or
improper granting, denying, renewing, revoking, suspending, or failing to

SB2664
- 15 -
LRB104 13699 RLC 26383 b
1
which any person who is subject to the provisions of
2
subsection (f) of Section 8 of this Act may request expedited
3
review from the Firearm Owner's Identification Card Review
4
Board.

5

(A) The Board shall disclose to an individual

11

Board an objection to any redaction made under paragraph

13

must specify the basis for the individual's belief that
14

the redacted information is necessary for a full and fair
15

review.
16

(C) In determining whether information should be
17

unredacted, the Board may consider any relevant factor,
18

including, but not limited to, (i) the extent to which the
19

disclosure of such information is necessary to provide the
20

individual with a meaningful opportunity to understand,
21

respond to, or rebut evidence for the basis for the denial
22

or revocation and (ii) the safety and well-being of any
23

person who, directly or indirectly, is the source or
24

(c-10) (1) An applicant, who is denied, revoked, or has
6
his or her Firearm Owner's Identification Card seized under
7
subsection (e) of Section 8 of this Act based upon a
8
determination of a developmental disability or an intellectual
9
disability may apply to the Firearm Owner's Identification
10
Card Review Board requesting relief.
11

(2) The Board shall act on the request for relief within 60
12
business days of receipt of written certification, in the form
13
prescribed by the Board, from a physician or clinical
14
psychologist, or qualified examiner, that the aggrieved
15
party's developmental disability or intellectual disability
16
condition is determined by a physician, clinical psychologist,
17
or qualified to be mild. If a fact-finding conference is
18
scheduled to obtain additional information concerning the
19
circumstances of the denial or revocation, the 60 business
20
days the Director has to act shall be tolled until the
21
completion of the fact-finding conference.
22

(3) The Board may grant relief if the aggrieved party's
23
developmental disability or intellectual disability is mild as
24
determined by a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified
25
examiner and it is established by the applicant to the Board's
26
satisfaction that:

SB2664
- 17 -
LRB104 13699 RLC 26383 b

(A) granting relief would not be contrary to the
2

public interest; and

(B) granting relief would not be contrary to federal
4

law.

(4) The Board may not grant relief if the condition is
6
determined by a physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified

examiner to be moderate, severe, or profound.
8

(5) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 99-29
9
apply to requests for relief pending on or before July 10, 2015
10
(the effective date of Public Act 99-29), except that the
11
60-day period for the Director to act on requests pending
12
before the effective date shall begin on July 10, 2015 (the
13
effective date of Public Act 99-29). All appeals as provided
14
in subsection (a-5) pending on January 1, 2023 shall be
15
considered by the Board.
16

(d) When a minor is adjudicated delinquent for an offense
17
which if committed by an adult would be a felony, the court
18
shall notify the Illinois State Police.
19

(e) The court shall review the denial of an application or
20
the revocation of a Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a
21
person who has been adjudicated delinquent for an offense that
22
if committed by an adult would be a felony if an application
23
for relief has been filed at least 10 years after the
24
adjudication of delinquency and the court determines that the
25
applicant should be granted relief from disability to obtain a
26
Firearm Owner's Identification Card. If the court grants

SB2664
- 18 -
LRB104 13699 RLC 26383 b
1
relief, the court shall notify the Illinois State Police that
2
the disability has been removed and that the applicant is
3
eligible to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
4

(f) Any person who is subject to the disabilities of 18
5
U.S.C. 922(d)(4) and 922(g)(4) of the federal Gun Control Act

7
under the laws of this State or who was determined to be
8
subject to the provisions of subsections (e), (f), or (g) of
9
Section 8 of this Act may apply to the
Board

Illinois State
10
Police
requesting relief from that prohibition. The Board
11
shall grant the relief if it is established by a preponderance
12
of the evidence that the person will not be likely to act in a
13
manner dangerous to public safety and that granting relief
14
would not be contrary to the public interest. In making this
15
determination, the Board shall receive evidence concerning (i)
16
the circumstances regarding the firearms disabilities from
17
which relief is sought; (ii) the petitioner's mental health
18
and criminal history records, if any; (iii) the petitioner's
19
reputation, developed at a minimum through character witness
20
statements, testimony, or other character evidence; and (iv)
21
changes in the petitioner's condition or circumstances since
22
the disqualifying events relevant to the relief sought.
23
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or any other
24
law to the contrary, the Illinois State Police shall provide
25
the Board or any court with jurisdiction with all records
26
relevant to the request for relief under Section 8.1.
If

SB2664
- 19 -

1
relief is granted under this subsection or by order of a court
2
under this Section, the Director shall as soon as practicable

but in no case later than 15 business days, update, correct,
4
modify, or remove the person's record in any database that the
5
Illinois State Police makes available to the National Instant
6
Criminal Background Check System and notify the United States
7
Attorney General that the basis for the record being made
8
available no longer applies. The Illinois State Police shall
9
adopt rules for the administration of this Section.
