IL HB2627

Increases minimum distance requirement for new firearm dealer retail locations from 500 feet to 1,500 feet from schools, preschools, day care facilities, cemeteries, libraries, public parks, forest preserves, public housing, and places of religious worship.

Establishes 1,500-foot minimum distance requirement for firearm ranges in counties and municipalities, measured from schools, preschools, day care facilities, libraries, public housing, cemeteries, public parks, forest preserves, and places of religious worship.

Exempts existing firearm ranges and dealers from new distance requirements unless they relocate to different properties, and grandfathers applications pending on the effective date.

Allows municipalities to prohibit firearm dealers and firearm ranges within city limits and up to one mile beyond municipal boundaries.

Limits home rule authority by declaring these regulations cannot be exceeded by counties or municipalities, establishing them as state-level constraints on concurrent home rule powers.
