NEW LEGISLATION WOULD MODERNIZE THE STATE'S FOID AND CONCEALED CARRY SYSTEMS.

THE BILL IS AN INITIATIVE OF THE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE AND MAKES SOME MUCH-NEEDED UPDATES SAYS DIRECTOR BRENDAN KELLY. FOR STARTERS, HE SAYS THEY WANT TO SYNC UP THE FOID AND CONCEALED CARRY PERMITS INTO ONE CARD AND ALLOW THEM TO BE RENEWED AT THE SAME TIME. ADDITIONALLY,

THE DEPARTMENT REQUESTED THE MEASURE, INCLUDING THESE CHANGES.

THE MEASURE ALSO CREATES AN ONLINE PORTAL OF PEOPLE PROHIBITED FROM OWNING A GUN FOR USE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
