The Department of State Police shall use all |
| 9 | | reasonable efforts in making publicly available, on a regular |
| 10 | | and ongoing
basis, key information related to firearms used in |
| 11 | | the
commission of crimes in this State, including, but not |
| 12 | | limited
to: reports on crimes committed with firearms, |
| 13 | | locations where
the crimes occurred, the number of persons |
| 14 | | killed or injured in
the commission of the crimes, the state |
| 15 | | where the firearms used
originated, the Federal Firearms |
| 16 | | Licensee that sold the firearm, and the type of firearms used. |
| 17 | | The Department
shall make the information available on its
|
| 18 | | website, in addition to electronically filing a report with |
| 19 | | the
Governor and the General Assembly. The report to the |
| 20 | | General
Assembly shall be filed with the Clerk of the House of

|
| | SB0916 | - 2 - | LRB102 04778 RJF 14797 b |
|
|
|
| 1 | | (b) The Department shall study, on a regular and ongoing |
| 2 | | basis, and compile reports on the number of Firearm Owner's |
| 3 | | Identification Card checks to determine firearms trafficking |
| 4 | | or straw purchase patterns. The Department shall, to the |
| 5 | | extent not inconsistent with law, share such reports and |
| 6 | | underlying data with academic centers, foundations, and law |
| 7 | | enforcement agencies studying firearms trafficking, provided |
| 8 | | that personally identifying information is protected. For |
| 9 | | purposes of this subsection (b), a Firearm Owner's |
| 10 | | Identification Card number is not personally identifying |
| 11 | | information, provided that no other personal information of |
| 12 | | the card holder is attached to the record. The Department may |
| 13 | | create and attach an alternate unique identifying number to |
| 14 | | each Firearm Owner's Identification Card number, instead of |
| 15 | | releasing the Firearm Owner's Identification Card number |
| 16 | | itself. |
| 17 | | (c) Each department, office, division, and agency of this
|
| 18 | | State shall, to the extent not inconsistent with law, |
| 19 | | cooperate
fully with the Department and furnish the
Department |
| 20 | | with all relevant information and assistance on a
timely basis |
| 21 | | as is necessary to accomplish the purpose of this
Act. The |
| 22 | | Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority shall submit |
| 23 | | the information required in subsection (a) of this Section to |
| 24 | | the Department of State Police, and any other information as |
| 25 | | the Department may request, to assist the Department in |
| 26 | | carrying out its duties under this Act.
