SB0074 Summary

• Requires all applicants for Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) Cards to submit a full set of fingerprints in electronic format to the Department of State Police for identity verification, effective upon enactment of the amendatory act.

• Exempts applicants who have previously provided fingerprints to the Department under the FOID Card Act or the Firearm Concealed Carry Act from submitting fingerprints again.

• Modifies the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to make fingerprint submission mandatory for all license applicants in electronic format for identity verification purposes, removing the previous provision that allowed applications without fingerprints (which granted an additional 30-day review period).
