Frequently Asked Questions

What is Illinois Senate Bill 2720 proposing?

Illinois Senate Bill 2720 proposes that the Secretary of State may deny, renew, or retain a driver's license for individuals who have a revoked FOID card and do not comply with surrendering it to authorities. This includes situations arising from red flag law interventions.

How do red flag laws relate to driver's license revocation in Illinois under SB 2720?

If a FOID card is revoked due to a red flag law intervention, and the individual fails to surrender their FOID card, SB 2720 could lead to the revocation of their driver's license. This is seen as a punitive measure for non-compliance.

What are the due process concerns with Illinois SB 2720 and red flag laws?

Critics argue that red flag laws, and by extension SB 2720, lack due process because individuals can have their FOID cards revoked without being present, facing their accuser, or even knowing about the proceedings until after the fact.

Why is Illinois SB 2720 considered a 'revenge' bill?

The bill is suggested to be a retaliatory measure by Governor Pritzker after a low percentage of FOID card holders registered their firearms by a state deadline. The driver's license penalty is seen as a way to target and penalize gun owners for non-compliance.
