Bill Summary · SB 2664

Summary — SB 2664 (introduced version) — Firearm Owners Identification Card Act amendments

Note: The bill information header lists the title as “Dietitian Licensure Compact; ratify,” but the text provided amends the Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) Card Act (430 ILCS 65). This summary is based on the bill text you supplied, which deals with FOID reporting, denial/suspension/revocation, confidentiality, expedited review, and liability protections.

Purpose

To expand reporting and administrative procedures under the FOID Act so that persons determined to pose a “clear and present danger” may have FOID applications denied or existing FOID cards suspended or revoked; to set confidentiality rules for those reports; to require an expedited administrative review process; and to provide liability protection for officials acting under the statute.

Key provisions

  • Amendments to 430 ILCS 65 (Sections 8.1, 10, 11) and addition of Section 15c.
  • Reporting triggers
    • Circuit court clerks must notify the Illinois State Police (ISP) of final dispositions related to adjudications of mental disability and involuntary admissions; semiannual “no-report” notifications if none in the prior 6 months.
    • The Department of Human Services (DHS) must report to the ISP information collected under the Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act (for FOID disqualification determinations).
    • If a qualified physician, clinical psychologist, or qualified examiner determines a person poses a clear and present danger, that clinician must notify DHS within 24 hours; DHS must update records and, if appropriate, notify ISP in the prescribed form.
    • Law enforcement officers or school administrators who determine someone poses a clear and present danger must notify ISP in the prescribed form.
  • Administrative action by ISP
    • Upon receiving such reports, the ISP must deny FOID applications or suspend/determine whether to revoke an existing FOID under Section 8 of the Act.
  • Confidentiality and reporter identity
    • Information disclosed under these provisions is privileged, confidential, and may not be redisclosed or used for other purposes except as allowed by law (limited disclosures to FOID Review Board or courts as required).
    • The identity of reporters (clinicians) is protected and disclosed only when required by the FOID Review Board or a court consistent with review proceedings.
  • Expedited review and records
    • The FOID Review Board must establish (no later than January 1, 2026) an expedited-review process for persons subject to these provisions.
    • ISP must provide the Board or courts with jurisdiction all records relevant to a request for relief.
    • Parties (ISP and individual) may seek judicial review after a final administrative decision.
  • Liability protection
    • The Board, ISP, and their employees/agents participating in these processes may not be held liable for civil damages arising from alleged wrongful or improper granting/denial/renewal/revocation/suspension or failure to take those actions.

Who is affected

  • Individuals applying for or holding FOID cards (may face denial/suspension/revocation based on reports of posing a clear and present danger).
  • DHS (required to receive clinician reports, update records, adopt rules for reporting).
  • Physicians, clinical psychologists, qualified examiners (24-hour reporting duty when they determine someone poses a clear and present danger).
  • Law enforcement officers and school administrators (reporting duty to ISP).
  • Illinois State Police and the FOID Review Board (administration, records, and review duties).

Timeline and procedural notes

  • DHS must provide by rule the form/manner for the report(s).
  • FOID Review Board must have an expedited-review process in place by January 1, 2026.
  • An adopted amendment (Amendment No. 1) as shown would insert a repeal date (“and shall stand repealed on June 30, 2025”); the target of that repeal is not clear from the excerpt — verify final enrolled text for accuracy.

Potential impacts

  • Strengthens administrative pathways for restricting firearm access for persons reported to pose immediate danger, potentially increasing temporary administrative removals of FOID privileges.
  • Introduces faster remedial process (expedited review) for affected individuals, while maintaining confidentiality and reporter protections.
  • Provides statutory immunity for officials, which may reduce litigation risk for agencies but may also affect remedies available to individuals who allege wrongful action.

Notes / recommendations

  • The bill text contains several internal cross-references to other statutory sections (e.g., Confidentiality Act Section 12, FOID Section 8, Review Board procedures in Section 10) — review the final enacted statute to confirm exact cross-links and the scope of any sunset language added by amendment.
  • Because the header/title and timeline entries show inconsistencies (dates and subject/title mismatches), consult the enrolled Act or Secretary of State publication for the definitive final version.
