"FIX THE FOID" LEGISLATION IS ADVANCING IN THE ILLINOIS HOUSE. 

THE MEASURE REQUIRES FINGERPRINTS AND A BACKGROUND CHECK FOR THOSE WANTING A FOID CARD, OFFERS AN ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THE CARD AND CREATES AN ONLINE PROHIBITED PERSONS PORTAL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO CHECK IF SOMEONE IS NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO OWN A GUN. IT'S SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE KATHLEEN WILLIS OF NORTHLAKE.

ED SULLIVAN WITH THE ILLINOIS STATE RIFLE ASSOCIATION OPPOSES THOSE PROVISIONS.

 THE BILL HAS PASSED A HOUSE COMMITTEE.
