SB3333 Summary

• Adds two new grounds for denying or revoking a Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) Card: persons subject to orders of protection (including those from other states, tribes, or territories) and persons subject to stalking no contact orders prohibiting firearm possession.

• In counties with more than 3,000,000 inhabitants, allows sheriffs to serve revocation notices on behalf of the Department of State Police when revoking cards based on protective orders or stalking no contact orders.

• Establishes procedures for immediate surrender of FOID Cards and firearms when a person is served with a revocation notice by a sheriff, with the sheriff storing firearms for up to 2 years or allowing transfer to a licensed dealer or valid FOID card holder.

• Requires persons receiving revocation notices (except in large counties with immediate sheriff service) to surrender their FOID Card within 48 hours and complete a Firearm Disposition Record disclosing all firearms and their location.

• Authorizes law enforcement to petition the circuit court for a warrant to search for and seize FOID Cards and firearms from persons who fail to comply with revocation requirements, with violations being Class A misdemeanors.
