IL SB3143

Deletes the prohibition against concealed carry licensees knowingly carrying firearms into public parks under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.

Modifies Section 65 to remove "public park" from the list of prohibited areas, replacing it with language that allows firearms on trails or bikeways even if they partially include a public park.

Maintains existing prohibitions on firearm carry in schools, government buildings, courthouses, detention facilities, hospitals, public transportation, alcohol-serving establishments (over 50% alcohol revenue), playgrounds, athletic facilities, universities, stadiums, libraries, airports, amusement parks, zoos, museums, and nuclear facilities.

Preserves exceptions allowing concealed carry in vehicles parked at prohibited locations if the firearm is stored in a locked case or container and unloaded, and allows carry while traveling along public rights of way that cross prohibited premises.

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
