Section 5. The Firearm Owners Identification Card Act is
amended by changing Sections 6 and 13.4 as follows:
(430 ILCS 65/6) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-6)
Sec. 6. Contents of Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
(a) A Firearm Owner's Identification Card, issued by the
Illinois State Police at such places as the Director of the
Illinois State Police shall specify, shall contain the
applicant's name, residence, date of birth, sex, physical
description, recent photograph, except as provided in

"CAUTION - This card does not permit bearer to UNLAWFULLY

Department of State Police may use a person's digital

SB3084 - 2 - LRB103 36286 RLC 67031 b
photograph and signature from his or her Illinois driver's
license or Illinois Identification Card, if available. On and
after December 1, 2002, the Illinois State Police (formerly
the Department of State Police) shall use a person's digital
photograph and signature from his or her Illinois driver's
license or Illinois Identification Card, if available. The
Illinois State Police shall decline to use a person's digital
photograph or signature if the digital photograph or signature
is the result of or associated with fraudulent or erroneous
data, unless otherwise provided by law.
(b) A person applying for a Firearm Owner's Identification
Card shall consent to the Illinois State Police using the
applicant's digital driver's license or Illinois
Identification Card photograph, if available, and signature on
the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card. The
Secretary of State shall allow the Illinois State Police
access to the photograph and signature for the purpose of
identifying the applicant and issuing to the applicant a
Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
(c) The Secretary of State shall conduct a study to
determine the cost and feasibility of creating a method of
adding an identifiable code, background, or other means on the
driver's license or Illinois Identification Card to show that
an individual is not disqualified from owning or possessing a
firearm under State or federal law. The Secretary shall report
the findings of this study August 17, 2002 (12 months after the

SB3084 - 3 - LRB103 36286 RLC 67031 b
effective date of Public Act 92-442).
(c-5) If a person qualifies for a photograph exemption, in
lieu of a photograph, the Firearm Owner's Identification Card
shall contain a copy of the card holder's fingerprints. Each
Firearm Owner's Identification Card described in this
subsection (c-5) must have printed on it the following: "This
card is only valid for firearm purchases through a federally
licensed firearms dealer when presented with photographic
identification, as prescribed by 18 U.S.C. 922(t)(1)(C)."

Identification Card is renewed for 10 years from the time
of approval instead of 10 years from the date of the
original card.
(2) If a person is eligible for both a Firearm Owner's
Identification Card and a concealed carry license, the
Illinois State Police shall by rule create one card that
may be used as both a Firearm Owner's Identification Card
