IL SB1524

Allows U.S. Military members permanently assigned to Illinois via PCS or PCA orders to apply for non-resident concealed carry licenses regardless of whether their home state's firearms laws are substantially similar to Illinois law.

Military non-residents must provide proof of service, PCS/PCA orders, a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card or application, and meet all other qualifications under Section 25 of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.

Sets application fee for military non-residents at $150 (same as residents), with funds apportioned to State Police Firearm Services Fund ($120), Mental Health Reporting Fund ($20), and State Crime Laboratory Fund ($10).

Requires military non-resident licensees to notify the Department within 30 days of moving out-of-state, receiving a PCS/PCA to another duty station, or separating/retiring from the military.

Maintains existing $300 application fee for other non-resident applicants from states with substantially similar firearms laws.
