| 14 | applicable processing fees. The processing fees shall be  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | limited to charges by the State Treasurer for using the  | |||||||||||||||||||||

| 18 | member of the Illinois National Guard, or a member of the  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 19 | Reserve Forces of the United States is exempt from the  | |||||||||||||||||||||

| 21 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card or renewals thereof shall  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | be deposited in the State Police Firearm Services Fund and $5  | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | into the State Police Revocation Enforcement Fund. | |||||||||||||||||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  (b) Renewal applications shall be approved or denied  | ||||||
| 2 | within 60 business days, provided the applicant submitted his  | ||||||
| 3 | or her renewal application prior to the expiration of his or  | ||||||
| 4 | her Firearm Owner's Identification Card. If a renewal  | ||||||
| 5 | application has been submitted prior to the expiration date of  | ||||||
| 6 | the applicant's Firearm Owner's Identification Card, the  | ||||||
| 7 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall remain valid while  | ||||||
| 8 | the Illinois State Police processes the application, unless  | ||||||
| 9 | the person is subject to or becomes subject to revocation  | ||||||
| 10 | under this Act. The cost for a renewal application shall be $10  | ||||||
| 11 | and may include applicable processing fees, which shall be  | ||||||
| 12 | limited to charges by the State Treasurer for using the  | ||||||
| 13 | electronic online payment system, which shall be deposited  | ||||||
| 14 | into the State Police Firearm Services Fund. | ||||||
| 15 |  (c) If the Firearm Owner's Identification Card of a  | ||||||
| 16 | licensee under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act expires during  | ||||||
| 17 | the term of the licensee's concealed carry license, the  | ||||||
| 18 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card and the license remain  | ||||||
| 19 | valid and the licensee does not have to renew his or her  | ||||||
| 20 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card during the duration of the  | ||||||
| 21 | concealed carry license. Unless the Illinois State Police has  | ||||||
| 22 | reason to believe the licensee is no longer eligible for the  | ||||||
| 23 | card, the Illinois State Police may automatically renew the  | ||||||
| 24 | licensee's Firearm Owner's Identification Card and send a  | ||||||
| 25 | renewed Firearm Owner's Identification Card to the licensee. | ||||||
| 26 |  (d) The Illinois State Police may adopt rules concerning  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | the use of voluntarily submitted fingerprints, as allowed by  | ||||||
| 2 | State and federal law.  | ||||||
| 3 |  (e) A renewed Firearm Owner's Identification Card issued  | ||||||
| 4 | under this Act shall be valid for the person to whom it is  | ||||||
| 5 | issued for a period of 10 years from the date of expiration on  | ||||||
| 6 | the previously issued card.  | ||||||
