Governor Bruce Rauner has signed a new law, that will allow FOID cards to stay active, even if Illinois State Police renewal is not completed by their expiration date. Rauner’s action on Friday give the state police department 60 business days to review and approve FOID card renewals. The previous law was 30 calendar days, and if FOID cards were invalid, if expiration occurred during the process. The measure was sponsored by Republican Representative Barbara Wheeler, of Crystal Lake, and Chicago Democratic Senator Antonio Munoz. It also clarifies reporting standards for hospitals to help state police intervene to prevent gun-death suicides. Rauner also signed a law that allows police officers to seek mental health treatment and not lose their FOID cards if they pose no danger to themselves or others.
