1 (b) The Department shall study, on a regular and ongoing
2basis, and compile reports on the number of Firearm Owner's
3Identification Card checks to determine firearms trafficking
4or straw purchase patterns. The Department shall, to the
5extent not inconsistent with law, share such reports and
6underlying data with academic centers, foundations, and law
7enforcement agencies studying firearms trafficking, provided
8that personally identifying information is protected. For
9purposes of this subsection (b), a Firearm Owner's
10Identification Card number is not personally identifying
11information, provided that no other personal information of
12the card holder is attached to the record. The Department may
13create and attach an alternate unique identifying number to
14each Firearm Owner's Identification Card number, instead of
15releasing the Firearm Owner's Identification Card number
16itself.

18State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law,
19cooperate fully with the Department and furnish the Department
20with all relevant information and assistance on a timely basis

23the information required in subsection (a) of this Section to
