 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 6 |  Section 5. Voluntary waiver of firearm rights. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 7 |  (a) A person may file a voluntary waiver of firearm  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 8 | rights, either in writing or electronically, with the clerk of  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | the court in any county in this State. The clerk of the court  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | must request a physical or scanned copy of photo  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | identification to verify the person's identity prior to  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | accepting the form. The person filing the form may provide the  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | name of a family member, mental health professional, substance  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | use disorder professional, or other person to be contacted if  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | the filer attempts to purchase a firearm while the voluntary  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | waiver of firearm rights is in effect or if the filer applies  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | to have the voluntary waiver revoked. The clerk of the court  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 18 | must immediately give notice to the person filing the form and  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 19 | any listed family member, mental health professional,  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 20 | substance use disorder professional, or other person if the  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 21 | filer's voluntary waiver of firearm rights has been accepted.  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | By the end of the business day, the clerk of the court shall,  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | in the form and manner prescribed by the Illinois State  | |||||||||||||||||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | Police, transmit the accepted form to the Illinois State  | ||||||
| 2 | Police. The Illinois State Police must enter the voluntary  | ||||||
| 3 | waiver of firearm rights into the national instant criminal  | ||||||
| 4 | background check system and any other federal or State  | ||||||
| 5 | computer-based systems used by law enforcement agencies or  | ||||||
| 6 | others to identify prohibited purchasers of firearms within 24  | ||||||
| 7 | hours of receipt of the form. Copies and records of the  | ||||||
| 8 | voluntary waiver of firearm rights shall not be disclosed  | ||||||
| 9 | except to law enforcement agencies. | ||||||
| 10 |  (b) A filer of a voluntary waiver of firearm rights may  | ||||||
| 11 | update the contact information for any family member, mental  | ||||||
| 12 | health professional, substance use disorder professional, or  | ||||||
| 13 | other person provided under subsection (a) of this section by  | ||||||
| 14 | making an electronic or written request to the clerk of the  | ||||||
| 15 | court in the same county where the voluntary waiver of firearm  | ||||||
| 16 | rights was filed. The clerk of the court must request a  | ||||||
| 17 | physical or scanned copy of photo identification to verify the  | ||||||
| 18 | person's identity prior to updating the contact information on  | ||||||
| 19 | the form. By the end of the business day, the clerk of the  | ||||||
| 20 | court shall transmit the updated contact information to the  | ||||||
| 21 | Illinois State Police.  | ||||||
| 22 |  (c) No sooner than 21 calendar days after filing a  | ||||||
| 23 | voluntary waiver of firearm rights, the person may file a  | ||||||
| 24 | revocation of the voluntary waiver of firearm rights, either  | ||||||
| 25 | in writing or electronically, in the same county where the  | ||||||
| 26 | voluntary waiver of firearm rights was filed. The clerk of the  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | court must request a physical or scanned copy of photo  | ||||||
| 2 | identification to verify the person's identity prior to  | ||||||
| 3 | accepting the form. By the end of the business day, the clerk  | ||||||
| 4 | of the court must transmit the form to the Illinois State  | ||||||
| 5 | Police and to any family member, mental health professional,  | ||||||
| 6 | substance use disorder professional, or other person listed on  | ||||||
| 7 | the voluntary waiver of firearm rights. Within 7 days of  | ||||||
| 8 | receiving a revocation of a voluntary waiver of firearm  | ||||||
| 9 | rights, the Illinois State Police must remove the person from  | ||||||
| 10 | the national instant criminal background check system, and any  | ||||||
| 11 | other federal or State computer-based systems used by law  | ||||||
| 12 | enforcement agencies or others to identify prohibited  | ||||||
| 13 | purchasers of firearms in which the person was entered, unless  | ||||||
| 14 | the person is otherwise ineligible to possess a firearm under  | ||||||
| 15 | Illinois law, and destroy all records of the voluntary waiver. | ||||||
| 16 |  (d) A person who knowingly makes a false Statement  | ||||||
| 17 | regarding the person's identity on the voluntary waiver of  | ||||||
| 18 | firearm rights form or revocation of waiver of firearm rights  | ||||||
| 19 | form is in violation of this Act and is subject to the penalty  | ||||||
| 20 | for perjury under Section 32-2 of the Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
| 21 |  (e) Neither a voluntary waiver of firearm rights nor a  | ||||||
| 22 | revocation of a voluntary waiver of firearm rights shall be  | ||||||
| 23 | considered by a court in any legal proceeding.  | ||||||
| 24 |  (f) A voluntary waiver of firearm rights may not be  | ||||||
| 25 | required of an individual as a condition for receiving  | ||||||
| 26 | employment, benefits, or services. | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  (g) All records obtained and all reports produced, as  | ||||||
| 2 | required by this Section, are not subject to disclosure and  | ||||||
| 3 | shall be confidential with respect to all matters involving  | ||||||
| 4 | health care, employment, education, housing, insurance,  | ||||||
| 5 | government benefits, and contracting. 
 | ||||||
| 6 |  Section 90. The Freedom of Information Act is amended by  | ||||||
| 7 | changing Section 7 as follows:
 | ||||||
| 8 |  (5 ILCS 140/7) | ||||||
| 9 |  Sec. 7. Exemptions.  | ||||||
| 10 |  (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public  | ||||||
| 11 | record that contains information that is exempt from  | ||||||
| 12 | disclosure under this Section, but also contains information  | ||||||
| 13 | that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect  | ||||||
| 14 | to redact the information that is exempt. The public body  | ||||||
| 15 | shall make the remaining information available for inspection  | ||||||
| 16 | and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall  | ||||||
| 17 | be exempt from inspection and copying:  | ||||||
| 18 |   (a) Information specifically prohibited from  | ||||||
| 19 |  disclosure by federal or State law or rules and  | ||||||
| 20 |  regulations implementing federal or State law.  | ||||||
| 21 |   (b) Private information, unless disclosure is required  | ||||||
| 22 |  by another provision of this Act, a State or federal law,  | ||||||
| 23 |  or a court order.  | ||||||
| 24 |   (b-5) Files, documents, and other data or databases  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and  | ||||||
| 2 |  specifically designed to provide information to one or  | ||||||
| 3 |  more law enforcement agencies regarding the physical or  | ||||||
| 4 |  mental status of one or more individual subjects.  | ||||||
| 5 |   (c) Personal information contained within public  | ||||||
| 6 |  records, the disclosure of which would constitute a  | ||||||
| 7 |  clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless  | ||||||
| 8 |  the disclosure is consented to in writing by the  | ||||||
| 9 |  individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted  | ||||||
| 10 |  invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of  | ||||||
| 11 |  information that is highly personal or objectionable to a  | ||||||
| 12 |  reasonable person and in which the subject's right to  | ||||||
| 13 |  privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in  | ||||||
| 14 |  obtaining the information. The disclosure of information  | ||||||
| 15 |  that bears on the public duties of public employees and  | ||||||
| 16 |  officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal  | ||||||
| 17 |  privacy.  | ||||||
| 18 |   (d) Records in the possession of any public body  | ||||||
| 19 |  created in the course of administrative enforcement  | ||||||
| 20 |  proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional  | ||||||
| 21 |  agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the  | ||||||
| 22 |  extent that disclosure would:  | ||||||
| 23 |    (i) interfere with pending or actually and  | ||||||
| 24 |  reasonably contemplated law enforcement proceedings  | ||||||
| 25 |  conducted by any law enforcement or correctional  | ||||||
| 26 |  agency that is the recipient of the request;  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |    (ii) interfere with active administrative  | ||||||
| 2 |  enforcement proceedings conducted by the public body  | ||||||
| 3 |  that is the recipient of the request;  | ||||||
| 4 |    (iii) create a substantial likelihood that a  | ||||||
| 5 |  person will be deprived of a fair trial or an impartial  | ||||||
| 6 |  hearing;  | ||||||
| 7 |    (iv) unavoidably disclose the identity of a  | ||||||
| 8 |  confidential source, confidential information  | ||||||
| 9 |  furnished only by the confidential source, or persons  | ||||||
| 10 |  who file complaints with or provide information to  | ||||||
| 11 |  administrative, investigative, law enforcement, or  | ||||||
| 12 |  penal agencies; except that the identities of  | ||||||
| 13 |  witnesses to traffic crashes, traffic crash reports,  | ||||||
| 14 |  and rescue reports shall be provided by agencies of  | ||||||
| 15 |  local government, except when disclosure would  | ||||||
| 16 |  interfere with an active criminal investigation  | ||||||
| 17 |  conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the  | ||||||
| 18 |  request;  | ||||||
| 19 |    (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative  | ||||||
| 20 |  techniques other than those generally used and known  | ||||||
| 21 |  or disclose internal documents of correctional  | ||||||
| 22 |  agencies related to detection, observation, or  | ||||||
| 23 |  investigation of incidents of crime or misconduct, and  | ||||||
| 24 |  disclosure would result in demonstrable harm to the  | ||||||
| 25 |  agency or public body that is the recipient of the  | ||||||
| 26 |  request;  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |    (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law  | ||||||
| 2 |  enforcement personnel or any other person; or  | ||||||
| 3 |    (vii) obstruct an ongoing criminal investigation  | ||||||
| 4 |  by the agency that is the recipient of the request.  | ||||||
| 5 |   (d-5) A law enforcement record created for law  | ||||||
| 6 |  enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic  | ||||||
| 7 |  record management system if the law enforcement agency  | ||||||
| 8 |  that is the recipient of the request did not create the  | ||||||
| 9 |  record, did not participate in or have a role in any of the  | ||||||
| 10 |  events which are the subject of the record, and only has  | ||||||
| 11 |  access to the record through the shared electronic record  | ||||||
| 12 |  management system.  | ||||||
| 13 |   (d-6) Records contained in the Officer Professional  | ||||||

| 20 |   (d-7) Information gathered or records created from the  | ||||||

| 2 |  materials are available in the library of the correctional  | ||||||
| 3 |  institution or facility or jail where the inmate is  | ||||||
| 4 |  confined.  | ||||||
| 5 |   (e-6) Records requested by persons committed to the  | ||||||
| 6 |  Department of Corrections, Department of Human Services  | ||||||

| 9 |  files, staff rosters, or other staffing assignment  | ||||||
| 10 |  information.  | ||||||
| 11 |   (e-7) Records requested by persons committed to the  | ||||||

| 18 |  Department of Corrections, Department of Human Services  | ||||||

| 23 |   (e-9) Records requested by a person in a county jail  | ||||||
| 24 |  or committed to the Department of Corrections or  | ||||||
| 25 |  Department of Human Services Division of Mental Health,  | ||||||
| 26 |  containing personal information pertaining to the person's  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  victim or the victim's family, including, but not limited  | ||||||
| 2 |  to, a victim's home address, home telephone number, work  | ||||||
| 3 |  or school address, work telephone number, social security  | ||||||
| 4 |  number, or any other identifying information, except as  | ||||||
| 5 |  may be relevant to a requester's current or potential case  | ||||||
| 6 |  or claim.  | ||||||
| 7 |   (e-10) Law enforcement records of other persons  | ||||||

| 18 |  that a specific record or relevant portion of a record  | ||||||
| 19 |  shall not be exempt when the record is publicly cited and  | ||||||
| 20 |  identified by the head of the public body. The exemption  | ||||||
| 21 |  provided in this paragraph (f) extends to all those  | ||||||
| 22 |  records of officers and agencies of the General Assembly  | ||||||
| 23 |  that pertain to the preparation of legislative documents.  | ||||||
| 24 |   (g) Trade secrets and commercial or financial  | ||||||
| 25 |  information obtained from a person or business where the  | ||||||
| 26 |  trade secrets or commercial or financial information are  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  furnished under a claim that they are proprietary,  | ||||||
| 2 |  privileged, or confidential, and that disclosure of the  | ||||||
| 3 |  trade secrets or commercial or financial information would  | ||||||

| 15 |  to the aggregate financial performance information of a  | ||||||
| 16 |  private equity fund, nor to the identity of the fund's  | ||||||

| 26 |  agreement, including information which if it were  | ||||||

| 2 |  to any person proposing to enter into a contractor  | ||||||
| 3 |  agreement with the body, until an award or final selection  | ||||||
| 4 |  is made. Information prepared by or for the body in  | ||||||
