IL SB1228

Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to explicitly permit licensees to carry firearms into Interstate highway rest areas.

Adds new subsection (a-4) clarifying that nothing in the Act prohibits firearm carrying at Interstate highway rest areas.

Maintains all existing prohibited areas for concealed carry, including schools, courthouses, hospitals, public transportation facilities, airports, and universities.

Preserves exceptions allowing firearm storage in locked vehicles at parking areas of prohibited locations and permits carry on public rights of way that cross prohibited premises.
