HB676:
1.) Changes hunting restrictions from 300 yards to 1,000 yards
2.) Creates a task force to explore requiring liability insurance on
firearms.
3.) Requirement to have a FOID card to acquire, possess, or transfer Tannerite. Penalty enhancement of Class 4 Felony
4.) Domestic Violence order of Protection Changes
a.) as a remedy the court can order firearms turned over to law enforcement. Used to be able to transfer them to a person with a FOID card
b.) Can confiscate firearms without the
defendant being present in a hearing.
Issue: If a person that transfers their firearms to law enforcement and subsequently loses their FOID, there is potentially no way to transfer the firearms back. Under current law the courts have at their discretion the ability to order the firearms destroyed. Imagine having a 100K collection, and the court destroys the
firearms.
