AI Summary

  • Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act to require persons seeking FOID Card reinstatement after mental health-related revocation to obtain evaluation from a "licensed clinical mental health professional" (licensed clinical social worker, clinical psychologist, or board-certified psychiatrist) rather than the broader category of physicians or qualified examiners previously allowed.

  • Requires evaluators to complete specific training including 3 hours of continuing education on suicide prevention and trauma evaluation, plus Illinois Department of Human Services training on FOID mental health reporting procedures.

  • Mandates that persons undergoing mental health evaluation must share all "collateral records" (medical records from the past 5 years from all healthcare providers) with the evaluator and attest that all records have been provided.

  • Requires the licensed clinical mental health professional to document efforts to obtain collateral records, identify the types of records received, and attest they reviewed all records before certifying the person is not a clear and present danger to self or others.

  • Mental health evaluation results performed after the Act's effective date must be transmitted to the Illinois State Police, and evaluations must occur during at least 2 office visits on separate, nonconsecutive days.
