IL SB3909

Bidders seeking state contracts for firearms, ammunition, or accessories must certify they do not sell unserialized gun build kits, unfinished frames, or unfinished receivers.

Contractors must provide documentation including valid licenses, ATF trace request data from the past 5 years, records of firearm thefts or losses, and the two most recent compliance inspection reports.

Vendors must disclose written policies for preventing straw purchases, screening prohibited purchasers, documenting theft/loss, training employees on firearms laws, and operating digital video surveillance systems.

State agencies must score compliance documentation as a factor in contract awards and must reject bids from non-compliant vendors, with no waivers or emergency purchases permitted.

The Attorney General is responsible for developing implementation procedures, which may include a prequalification process and a scoring system evaluating public safety values.
