SB3448 Summary

• Requires all applicants for Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) Card issuance or renewal to submit a full set of fingerprints in electronic format to the Department of State Police for identity verification, effective upon passage.

• Allows applicants to be exempt from the fingerprint requirement if they have previously provided fingerprints to the Department under the FOID Act or the Concealed Carry Act.

• Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to mandate fingerprints be submitted in electronic format for identity verification purposes, removing the prior provision allowing applications without fingerprints and granting additional processing time.
