HB4290 EnrolledLRB098 15878 RLC 50923 b
AN ACT concerning safety.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Firearm Concealed Carry Act is amended by
changing Section 70 as follows:
(430 ILCS 66/70)
Sec. 70. Violations.
(a) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be
revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found to be ineligible
for a license under this Act or the licensee no longer meets
the eligibility requirements of the Firearm Owners
Identification Card Act.
(b) A license shall be suspended if an order of protection,
including an emergency order of protection, plenary order of
protection, or interim order of protection under Article 112A
of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 or under the Illinois
Domestic Violence Act of 1986, is issued against a licensee for
the duration of the order, or if the Department is made aware
of a similar order issued against the licensee in any other
jurisdiction. If an order of protection is issued against a
licensee, the licensee shall surrender the license, as
applicable, to the court at the time the order is entered or to
the law enforcement agency or entity serving process at the
time the licensee is served the order. The court, law
enforcement agency, or entity responsible for serving the order
of protection shall notify the Department within 7 days and
transmit the license to the Department.
(c) A license is invalid upon expiration of the license,
unless the licensee has submitted an application to renew the
license, and the applicant is otherwise eligible to possess a
license under this Act.
(d) A licensee shall not carry a concealed firearm while
under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
intoxicating compound or combination of compounds, or any
combination thereof, under the standards set forth in
subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
A licensee in violation of this subsection (d) shall be
guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first or second violation
and a Class 4 felony for a third violation. The Department may
suspend a license for up to 6 months for a second violation and
shall permanently revoke a license for a third violation.
(e) Except as otherwise provided, a licensee in violation
of this Act shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. A second
or subsequent violation is a Class A misdemeanor. The
Department may suspend a license for up to 6 months for a
second violation and shall permanently revoke a license for 3
or more violations of Section 65 of this Act. Any person
convicted of a violation under this Section shall pay a $150
fee to be deposited into the Mental Health Reporting Fund, plus
any applicable court costs or fees.
(f) A licensee convicted or found guilty of a violation of
this Act who has a valid license and is otherwise eligible to
carry a concealed firearm shall only be subject to the
penalties under this Section and shall not be subject to the
penalties under Section 21-6, paragraph (4), (8), or (10) of
subsection (a) of Section 24-1, or subparagraph (A-5) or (B-5)
of paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1.6 of the
Criminal Code of 2012. Except as otherwise provided in this
subsection, nothing in this subsection prohibits the licensee
from being subjected to penalties for violations other than
those specified in this Act.
(g) A licensee whose license is revoked, suspended, or
denied shall, within 48 hours of receiving notice of the
revocation, suspension, or denial, surrender his or her
concealed carry license to the local law enforcement agency
where the person resides. The local law enforcement agency
shall provide the licensee a receipt and transmit the concealed
carry license to the Department of State Police. If the
licensee whose concealed carry license has been revoked,
suspended, or denied fails to comply with the requirements of
this subsection, the law enforcement agency where the person
resides may petition the circuit court to issue a warrant to
search for and seize the concealed carry license in the
possession and under the custody or control of the licensee
whose concealed carry license has been revoked, suspended, or
denied. The observation of a concealed carry license in the
possession of a person whose license has been revoked,
suspended, or denied constitutes a sufficient basis for the
arrest of that person for violation of this subsection. A
violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor.
(h) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be
revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found ineligible for a
Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the licensee no longer
possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. A
licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection (h)
shall surrender his or her concealed carry license as provided
for in subsection (g) of this Section.
This subsection shall not apply to a person who has filed
an application with the State Police for renewal of a Firearm
Owner's Identification Card and who is not otherwise ineligible
to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
(i) A certified firearms instructor who knowingly provides
or offers to provide a false certification that an applicant
has completed firearms training as required under this Act is
guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. A person guilty of a violation
of this subsection (i) is not eligible for court supervision.
The Department shall permanently revoke the firearms
instructor certification of a person convicted under this
subsection (i).

Section 10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by
changing Section 5-6-1 as follows:
(730 ILCS 5/5-6-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-6-1)
Sec. 5-6-1. Sentences of Probation and of Conditional
Discharge and Disposition of Supervision. The General Assembly
finds that in order to protect the public, the criminal justice
system must compel compliance with the conditions of probation
by responding to violations with swift, certain and fair
punishments and intermediate sanctions. The Chief Judge of each
circuit shall adopt a system of structured, intermediate
sanctions for violations of the terms and conditions of a
sentence of probation, conditional discharge or disposition of
supervision.
(a) Except where specifically prohibited by other
provisions of this Code, the court shall impose a sentence of
probation or conditional discharge upon an offender unless,
having regard to the nature and circumstance of the offense,
and to the history, character and condition of the offender,
the court is of the opinion that:
(1) his imprisonment or periodic imprisonment is
necessary for the protection of the public; or
(2) probation or conditional discharge would deprecate
the seriousness of the offender's conduct and would be
inconsistent with the ends of justice; or
(3) a combination of imprisonment with concurrent or
consecutive probation when an offender has been admitted
into a drug court program under Section 20 of the Drug
Court Treatment Act is necessary for the protection of the
public and for the rehabilitation of the offender.
The court shall impose as a condition of a sentence of
probation, conditional discharge, or supervision, that the
probation agency may invoke any sanction from the list of
intermediate sanctions adopted by the chief judge of the
circuit court for violations of the terms and conditions of the
sentence of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision,
subject to the provisions of Section 5-6-4 of this Act.
(b) The court may impose a sentence of conditional
discharge for an offense if the court is of the opinion that
neither a sentence of imprisonment nor of periodic imprisonment
nor of probation supervision is appropriate.
(b-1) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section do not apply
to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or felony under the
Illinois Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of
the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 if the
defendant within the past 12 months has been convicted of or
pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor or felony under the Illinois
Vehicle Code or reckless homicide under Section 9-3 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
(c) The court may, upon a plea of guilty or a stipulation
by the defendant of the facts supporting the charge or a
finding of guilt, defer further proceedings and the imposition
of a sentence, and enter an order for supervision of the
defendant, if the defendant is not charged with: (i) a Class A
misdemeanor, as defined by the following provisions of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012: Sections
11-9.1; 12-3.2; 11-1.50 or 12-15; 26-5 or 48-1; 31-1; 31-6;
31-7; paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (a) of Section 21-1;
paragraph (1) through (5), (8), (10), and (11) of subsection
(a) of Section 24-1; (ii) a Class A misdemeanor violation of
Section 3.01, 3.03-1, or 4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals
Act; or (iii) a felony. If the defendant is not barred from
receiving an order for supervision as provided in this
subsection, the court may enter an order for supervision after
considering the circumstances of the offense, and the history,
character and condition of the offender, if the court is of the
opinion that:
(1) the offender is not likely to commit further
crimes;
(2) the defendant and the public would be best served
if the defendant were not to receive a criminal record; and
(3) in the best interests of justice an order of
supervision is more appropriate than a sentence otherwise
permitted under this Code.
(c-5) Subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this Section do not
apply to a defendant charged with a second or subsequent
violation of Section 6-303 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
committed while his or her driver's license, permit or
privileges were revoked because of a violation of Section 9-3
of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,
relating to the offense of reckless homicide, or a similar
provision of a law of another state.
(d) The provisions of paragraph (c) shall not apply to a
defendant charged with violating Section 11-501 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance when
the defendant has previously been:

Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of another state;
or
(2) assigned supervision for a violation of Section
11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
of a local ordinance or any similar law or ordinance of
another state; or
(3) pleaded guilty to or stipulated to the facts
supporting a charge or a finding of guilty to a violation
of Section 11-503 of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance or any similar law or
ordinance of another state, and the plea or stipulation was

16-25 or 16A-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
