The Department of State Police shall use all | |||||||||||||||||||

| 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

| |||||||||||||||||||

| |||||||
| 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 | ||||||

| 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 | ||||||

| 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.
